Nader and Zakher Zahran care for their family's olive groves throughout the year. Their work follows the rhythm of the seasons: pruning, tending, and preparing for harvest long before the olives are picked. When harvest arrives the work becomes intense and focused, and every tree is picked by hand at the right moment.

For the Zahran brothers, olive farming is a continuous practice, one that connects daily care with a single, short harvest window each year.

Dier Abu Mash'al sits in the hills northwest of Ramallah, where olive cultivation has long been part of village life. The terrain is shaped by rocky soil, sloping hills, and dry Mediterranean seasons that influence how the trees grow and how the fruit develops.

In this environment the olive trees give a balanced profile: oils that are fresh, steady, and expressive of the land they come from.
