Question 1

Where is Fasayel Farms located?

Accepted Answer

The farm is located in Fasayel Village, north of Jericho in the Jordan Valley, Palestine — a region long recognized as one of the most fertile agricultural areas in the Middle East.

Question 2

How long has the farm been in the family?

Accepted Answer

Fasayel Farms has been cultivated by the Al-Nimer family since the 19th century — over 130 years of uninterrupted stewardship on the same land, passed down through four generations. It began with Qasem Al-Nimer, who first settled the land at Ras Al-Ein and built the water-powered wheat mill that gave the valley its first agricultural foundation. His son Fahmi expanded the farm, opened new trade routes reaching Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, and dug the first deep well in the area. Fahmi's three sons — Silham, Samsam, and Saad — carried the legacy forward, each contributing a defining chapter: Silham through trade and administration, Samsam through the restoration of the ancient Roman Pool and the farm's irrigation infrastructure, and Saad through the Medjoul palm orchards, the vineyards, the greenhouses, and the farm's international reach today.

Question 3

Can we visit the farm?

Accepted Answer

Yes, visits are welcome daily. Get in touch through our contact page or by phone to arrange yours.

Question 4

What is your flagship product?

Accepted Answer

Our flagship product is the Medjoul date — harvested each September and October from over 3,150+ palms across 280 dunums of the Jordan Valley. Known for their size, natural sweetness, and depth of flavour, our Medjoul dates are available in Jumbo, Large, and Medium grades. The grove itself is a living, expanding project — each mature palm produces new offshoots, raised in Fasayel's own nursery and replanted across the land season after season.

Question 5

When is the harvest season for each crop?

Accepted Answer

Medjoul Dates — September through October. Watermelons — May. Grapes — May through June. Greenhouse Vegetables — year-round operations with seasonal harvests.

Question 6

What grades do your Medjoul dates come in?

Accepted Answer

Our Medjoul dates are hand-sorted into three grades — Jumbo, Large, and Medium — depending on the harvest yield each season.

Question 7

What packaging options do you offer?

Accepted Answer

For Medjoul dates we offer bulk and custom packaging. Grapes are available in bulk, retail boxes, and gift boxes. Watermelons and greenhouse vegetables are supplied in bulk.

Accepted Answer

Question 13

What irrigation systems does the farm use?

Accepted Answer

The farm uses a combination of drip irrigation, center-pivot systems, and smart irrigation controls — fed by the farm's own deep central well, the natural waters of Ras Al-Ein (the Fasayel Spring), and a fully renewed underground pipeline network that ensures consistent, reliable water delivery across all cultivated land.

Question 14

What crops does Fasayel Farms grow?

Accepted Answer

We grow Medjoul dates, watermelons, green seedless grapes, and a wide range of produce across open fields and greenhouses — including tomatoes, sweet peppers, bell peppers, hot peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, and cauliflower. In some seasons, we also cultivate sweet corn and mangoes — all grown across more than 830 cultivated dunums of the Jordan Valley.

Question 15

Are your products available for export?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We supply distributors and buyers internationally. Contact us through our contact page or by phone to discuss export availability, quantities, and logistics.

Question 16

What makes Fasayel Farms' Medjoul dates different?

Accepted Answer

Our Medjoul dates are grown in the Jordan Valley — one of the world's most ideal climates for date cultivation, with mineral-rich soil, abundant sunshine, and natural water sources. Each date is hand-harvested and hand-sorted by the family, never rushed, and picked only when fully ripe. The result is a date that is naturally large, soft, and deeply sweet — a product of 130 years of agricultural knowledge applied to every single harvest.

Question 17

Do you supply supermarkets and grocery chains?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We supply supermarkets, grocery chains, distributors, and wholesale buyers across Palestine and internationally. We welcome enquiries from retail and wholesale buyers of all sizes.

Question 18

What is the Jordan Valley and why does it matter for agriculture?

Accepted Answer

The Jordan Valley is one of the lowest and warmest regions on earth, sitting well below sea level and benefiting from a unique micro-climate that makes it exceptionally suited for growing dates, tropical fruits, and warm-season vegetables. Fasayel sits in the northern part of this valley, where the Al-Nimer family has farmed the same fertile land for over 130 years.

Question 19

Are Fasayel Farms products available during Ramadan?

Accepted Answer

Medjoul dates are one of the most traditionally significant foods during Ramadan. While our primary harvest season runs from September through October, we work with distributors and buyers to ensure availability ahead of the Ramadan season each year. Contact us early to secure your order.

Question 20

What is the Ancient Roman Pool at Fasayel Farms?

Accepted Answer

The Ancient Roman Pool is one of Fasayel's most remarkable historical discoveries. Uncovered by the Al-Nimer family during excavation works in the 1970s — eight metres of soil moved by hand alongside neighbours and volunteers — the pool dates back to the Roman era and once served as a water reservoir for the land. The family restored it and made use of it in that capacity for a period of time. Today, it is carefully preserved as a heritage and archaeological site, protected by the family from any harm or neglect, and stands as a living testament to the deep historical layers beneath the Fasayel soil.

Question 21

How old is the Ancient Roman Pool at Fasayel?

Accepted Answer

The pool dates back to the Roman era, making it potentially over 2,000 years old. It was buried under eight metres of soil before the Al-Nimer family uncovered it during excavation works in the 1970s. Its discovery was one of the most significant historical findings on the land and remains one of the farm's most treasured landmarks.

Question 22

Is the Ancient Roman Pool open to visitors?

Accepted Answer

The Roman Pool is part of the farm's heritage site. Visitors who come to Fasayel Farms are welcome to see it as part of the experience. Contact us to arrange a visit.

Question 23

Where can I buy Medjoul dates from Palestine?

Accepted Answer

Fasayel Farms sells directly to distributors, grocers, and wholesale buyers across Palestine, the Gulf, and Europe. If you're a business looking to source Medjoul dates, contact us through our contact page to discuss availability and pricing. We do not currently operate individual retail sales.

Question 24

Are Fasayel Farms products organic?

Accepted Answer

Our farming practices are rooted in traditional, low-intervention methods passed down across four generations — but we do not currently hold formal organic certification. We are actively working toward certification to formalize what has long been our approach to the land.

Question 25

Is Fasayel Farms a Palestinian-owned business?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fasayel Farms is fully owned and operated by the Al-Nimer family, a Palestinian family that has farmed the same land in the Jordan Valley since 1890. The farm remains independently family-run across four generations.

Question 26

How should Medjoul dates be stored?

Accepted Answer

Medjoul dates are best stored in a cool, dry place and can also be refrigerated to extend freshness — typically staying fresh for several months when properly sealed. Their natural moisture means they should be kept away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

Question 27

How do I become a distributor for Fasayel Farms products?

Accepted Answer
