Olive Haven

We're excited to share another store that is welcoming our dips: 🥳 This is our fourth store and we couldn't be more grateful to them. Our thanks also go to all our customers who have spread the word and supported us over the years.

By the way, did you know we're bringing our Baba Ganoush back? 😏 Come to the to get a sample.

Instead of divesting over $50M in companies explicitly supporting the genocide in Palestine, the University of Guelph is threatening to take legal action against the student encampment if they don't leave by 8 pm today.

The students are asking for the community to come show solidarity at the People’s Plaza for Palestine tonight at 8PM! We must show the university we stand for a free Palestine and support the students in their demands for divestment.

The encampment is near the bus loop behind the University Centre at Branion Plaza. All supportive community members welcome. Come show your support 🇵🇸

Giveaway time 🥳

Whether you start your day by reading from the Quran or the Bible, reading God's words feels like the perfect way to start.

Good morning beautiful people ☀️📖☕

Over the past seven months I've seen couples get married, researchers defend their thesis, fathers rebuild their homes, students celebrate memorizing the Quran, young men breakdance, journalists covering the news after losing their families.. All of this while still being bombed day and night.

Mahmoud Darwish (Palestinian poet) once said: "We love life if we find a way to it". We are STUBBORN people. And we're not going anywhere 🇵🇸

Do you still think stubbornness is a vice?

I'm not gonna say that doing business at the is not exciting, coz it really is. But there's another side to the market that you can't put a price on. It's the friendships you make, the conversions you have, and the genuine connections you build.

Two weeks ago my friend was running my booth at the while I attended a convention in Toronto. A lady gave this to her to give to me as a gift, and unfortunately my friend forgot to get her name 😒

This was the most delicious pumpkin anything I had in my life 😋 and I want to thank that generous and beautiful soul. If anyone has an idea of who made it please let me know guys 🙏🏻

While most of us are busy buying gifts for loved one, it occurred to me: why not start with getting myself a gift to show how much I appreciate me! 🤔 Any one else?

Come to our booth to pamper yourself (not in that way 😉) with the 's delicacies. Amongst them are a variety of Oriental Sweets and Palestinian/Jordanian Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (pressed very recently). I snatched a bottle of oil before they're all gone 😂

We'll be tomorrow at the Holiday Market at as well as Saturdays as usual. Hope to see you there 🙏🏻🇵🇸

When your day starts with this beautiful gift from a customer as a way of showing his support and empathy 🙏🏻❤️ Thank you Greg. May your life be filled with peace

As the world witnesses the unfolding of the war in my homeland, some choose to watch with one eye open and another closed.

My heart aches for EVERY harmed civilian. But what hurts more is living in a world that grants the right for self-defense to certain people, and denies it to others. Every occupied has the right to liberation, regardless of their color, ethnicity, or religion.

Please don't allow yourself to be brainwashed by the controled media. Ask your heart what would you do if you've been living under occupation and oppression for over 75 years? If the answer is "I would accept it and forfeit my dignity" then please unfollow me today!

After juicing lemons by hand for so long we finally found a great solution that doesn't compromise on our quality 🍋✅

These 24 liters of pasteurized lemon juice from Sun Orchard Juicery will go into making our delicious Hummus 😋

I can't say that paying $191 for this doesn't hurt, but it definitely hurts less than squeezing those lemons every week 😂

Such a beautiful sight. Don't you think?! 😉

Weekend is here and the weather is just perfect for a picnic or a family-get-together ⛱️🌻 Grab any of our dips to add a delicious and healthy snack to your weekend plans.

Few weeks ago someone at the Guelph Farmers' Market refered to us as the Hummus guys, and I loved it 😂 If you missed the Hummus guys last Saturday it doesn't mean you missed out on their Hummus. Head to Market Fresh Guelph and grab one of these bad boys before they disappear 🏃‍♀😏

Way #2 of how to eat Hummus: In the Middle-East Friday is a weekend 🇵🇸 And how do people start their weekends there? They start it with this match made in heaven: Hummus and Fool (fava bean dip) 😋 The creamyness of the Hummus pairs so perfectly with the chunky Fool. And when you drown it with enough extra-virgin olive oil you know your weekend is starting on the right foot, or the right taste if I may say 😏

Have you had Fool before? Let us know in the comments how did you like it 👇🏻

This is how I broke my fast yesterday 😋 Couscous salad is my go-to meal when I'm in the mood for something light yet filling ☘️

Welcome to the new series of: Ways to Eat Hummus 🍴
Every week we'll post about a different way to enjoy this versatile dip and get some creativity in the air.
Way #1 is Hummus with ground beef 😋This is one of the most common meals in Palestine 🇵🇸
Growing up whenever Mom was in a rush and didn't know what to cook she'd quickly whip up one of these plates and call it a happy meal 🙂 Simply top some Olive Haven Hummus with ground beef, sprinkle some toasted pinenuts on top, veggies on the side, and warm a whole-wheat pita, and voilá you got yourself an easy, filling, and nutritious meal 😋

Humus Alert 🚨 Our dips are back at Fleetstreets - A British Shop.This little British gem sells lots of wonderful local foods, not to mention the baked goods made in house by this beautiful lady ♨️ I'm telling you going there while fasting aggravated my hunger so much 😂 Give them a visit and tell them we said hi 👋

Ramadan and entrepreneurship

As a Muslim entrepreneur it can be difficult to dedicate time and energy to my faith while running a business. Last year was a challenge. I was in the kitchen 6 days a week. And during my time off I’d be off with Zaid buying groceries and supplies. Needless to say, my spirituality took a backseat 😔

By the grace of God, I made some changes and pivoted the business. I doubled down on dips, moved to a new location, and freed up a big chunk of my time.
Thankfully, this Ramadan I can dedicate my time to reconnecting with my faith ☪️

Ramadan is an opportunity to reset, reevaluate, and recalibrate. This year I aim to quiet the noise, subdue the ego, and focus on the things that matter 🙂

What is one thing you’ve put on the backseat for sometime and want to reconnect with❓
