Healthy Basket | |
| Everyday, food scandals and
nutritional illnesses shake the world. People are becoming increasingly
aware of the need to eat well. This new food consciousness has resulted
in the growth of the organic food sector worldwide. Healthy Basket
(HB), an AUB-owned company for the marketing of organic produce, is
one of the main stakeholders in the organic sector in Lebanon. Healthy Basket started in 2001 as a project by AUB 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 two certification bodies: the Lebanese LibanCert and the Swiss Bio inspecta. 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 farmer market Souk El Tayeb. Join our CSA program to support AUB and the small farmers! Baskets can be picked up from the HB shop in Hamra or delivered to your office or home in Greater Beirut. Come and visit our shop located opposite St. Rita Church off Sadat St. (the street facing Smith supermarket). Contact us on 01-747831 or 03-794438 or phone: 01-350000, Extension: 4500 |
