Healthy Basket, Company

Healthy Basket started in 2001 as a project by the American University of Beirut to improve Lebanese farmers’ livelihood in rural areas, preserving the environment and protecting human health by adopting organic agriculture as a key strategy. Fresh , certified organic fruits and vegetables sold by HB are produced by small farmers throughout Lebanon, closely supervised by LibanCert. Since 2005, HB has become a self-sustainable business with social responsibility. It is specialized in home deliveries through its Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. By joining this program, customers receive a weekly basket of fresh organic fruits and vegetables of the season at their doorstep. In addition to the CSA program, HB operates a retail shop in Hamra and a weekly stand in Beirut’s farmer’s market “Souk El Tayeb”.
