Palbox is a quarterly Palestinian subscription box that delivers authentic food, handmade crafts, and cultural artwork from Palestinian farmers and artisans directly to your door. Founded in 2016 and based in Pennsylvania, Palbox is a Palestinian-American family business that has put over $500,000 into the Palestinian economy through fair trade sourcing and direct partnerships with producers across the West Bank.

Our Story

Palbox began with artist Katie Miranda, who spent time volunteering on farms in the occupied West Bank and saw firsthand the extraordinary quality of Palestinian food and craft, and the severe restrictions that prevent these goods from reaching international markets. The ongoing Israeli occupation has imposed barriers on Palestinian artisans and farmers that make it nearly impossible for them to export and sell their work. Miranda founded Palbox in 2016 to build a direct, trusted path between Palestinian producers and customers who want to support them.

What started as a way to provide year-round access to Palestinian products has grown into something larger. Palbox is not simply a commerce platform. Palestinian food and craft are too often renamed, repackaged, or separated from the people who created and preserved them. Every item in a Palbox carries the story of who made it, where it comes from, and why it matters. This is cultural reclamation through commerce, a deliberate act of witnessing Palestinian heritage by supporting the people who sustain it.

What You'll Find in Every Box

Each quarterly Palbox is curated around a seasonal theme and includes a rotating selection of Palestinian food, textiles, ceramics, and artwork sourced directly from small family businesses and artisan cooperatives.

Past and current boxes have included cold-pressed olive oil from Nabali and Rumi cultivars grown by Palestinian farmers in the West Bank, pistachio halaweh made in Nablus with tahini and natural cane sugar, handmade ceramic mugs crafted by women artisans in the village of Nisf Jubeil, hand-loomed keffiyehs from the Hirbawi factory, tatreez-embroidered textiles carrying centuries of Palestinian needlework tradition, Hebron ceramics shaped on traditional doulab and jikkar wheels by families like the Sharif Oriental Ceramics workshop that has been rooted in Palestine since approximately 1920, Arabic calligraphy jewelry, za'atar, coffee, dates, olive oil soap from Nablus, and original artwork and postcards by Palestinian artists including Shireen Salman from Jerusalem and Ahmed Hmeedat from Dheisheh Refugee Camp.

Every product is sourced through direct relationships with named producers. You know exactly where your support goes.

Our Impact

Since 2016, Palbox has contributed over $500,000 to the Palestinian economy through direct sourcing from Palestinian farmers, artisans, and small family businesses. With more than 250 active subscribers, each quarterly shipment represents meaningful, sustained economic support for producers navigating the challenges of exporting from the West Bank.

Products move through checkpoints, import systems, and long-distance shipping before they reach the Palbox warehouse in Pennsylvania and then your door. This supply chain is not incidental. It is an ethical commitment to ensuring that Palestinian goods reach the people who want them, no matter how difficult the logistics.
