My name is Barbara Amina Al-Ramadna. I am the founder and owner of Green Fields Oils Factory.

This is my story.

The Girl Who Became the Woman Who Couldn't Breathe

When I was a child, I suffered from allergies. Spring was the worst. My eyes would swell so badly that sometimes I could barely see. Cats also triggered it – and I loved cats, so that was a problem. But like many childhood things, I assumed I would grow out of it.

I didn't.

I grew up. I studied electrical engineering and earned my master's degree in communications engineering. For over ten years, I worked as a Maintenance Contract Manager at a large computer firm in Jordan. I was an adult. I was a professional. I had responsibilities.

And my allergies got worse.

What had been manageable as a child became exhausting as an adult. Spring wasn't just uncomfortable – it was debilitating. My eyes, my breathing, my energy. All of it suffered.

Then one day, my mother brought me a bottle of black seed oil.

She didn't make a big speech about it. She just handed it to me, the way mothers do when they've noticed something you haven't. Maybe she saw I was struggling. Maybe she remembered something from all those years ago and thought it was worth trying again.

I tried it.

And something shifted.

The allergies didn't disappear overnight. But they quieted. Spring came, and I could function. I could breathe. I could be around cats again – and I love cats, so this mattered. When the bottle finished, I thought: I need more of this.

So I went looking for another bottle.

The Engineer Who Never Planned to Make Oil

That search – standing in a herbal shop in Amman, confused by all the different oils, not knowing which was real – that search is what started everything.

There were so many types. So many colors. Dark oils, light oils, thick ones, thin ones. Which one was real? Which one would actually work? The shopkeeper had answers, but how could I trust them?

I left empty-handed. But I also left with a question that would change my life: Why is it so hard to find pure black seed oil?

I am an engineer. When I don't know something, I research.

I learned what real black seed oil should look like. What it should smell like. What it should taste like. I learned about cold pressing and why heat destroys the very things you bought the oil for. And the more I learned, the more frustrated I became. The market was full of oils that weren't real. And people were buying them, trusting them, and never knowing the difference.

I had spent ten years in the computer industry. I knew how to deal with people. I knew the Jordanian market. And I thought: I can do this myself. I can make the oil that I couldn't find.

So I did.

The Beginning: 2004

I started with my own savings. Just a small amount. Just enough for one machine.

That machine sat in my parents' home. I would go there, press the seeds, and watch the oil flow. It was slow. It was small. But it was real.

I was freshly married when I started this. My children were not born yet. But soon, they would arrive. And they would grow up inside this business.

I remember bringing my daughter to work with me when she was tiny. She would sleep in her coat while I worked beside the press. She didn't know it then, but she was already part of something.

Growing Slowly, Growing Right

From my parents' home, I opened one small shop. Then a bigger space. Then one employee. Then more.

Today, we are a team of 14 people. We have an office and a warehouse in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, with a proper license and all the certifications that matter. We have over one hundred products.

But the heart is the same as it was in 2004: pure, genuine products sourced from nature.

What We Make

We manufacture:

• Cold-pressed oils – from black seed, pumpkin, jojoba, and more
• Steam-distilled oils and hydrosols – capturing the essence of herbs
• Seed pastes – like tahini and black seed paste
• Dead Sea products – mineral-rich salts from the lowest point on earth
• Herbal extracts – for food and wellness
• Natural soaps – made the old way
• Gluten-free flours – almond, coconut, and others

Recently, we introduced a range of food supplements. But not the usual gelatin capsules. Ours are plant-based, made from cellulose. We fill them with our own high-quality oils: black seed, pumpkin seed, and more. No animals, no compromises.

Our Motto (The One We Actually Live By)

We do not use solvents. We do not use chemicals. We do not use preservatives. All our seeds and herbs are free from genetic modification.

These are not marketing words. These are the rules I set on day one, and they have never changed.

________________________________________

Who Trusts Us?

Our products are in major malls, health shops, herbal shops, and pharmacies across Jordan and beyond.

We supply luxurious hotel chains – places that could choose anyone, but choose us.

We supply restaurants that care about quality ingredients – chefs who understand that pure oil makes a difference.

We provide raw materials to manufacturing companies who need pure ingredients they can trust.

And we export. After twenty years, our oil reaches customers in the USA, UK, Canada, Eastern Europe, and across the Middle East. The same oil I started making in my parents' home, now on tables thousands of miles away.

The Farmers Who Make It Possible

I believe in buying directly from the people who grow.

We work with farmers in Jordan – in villages like Kufr Soom, Balqa District, Rajm al-Shami, Naour and Jerash. Mostly family-based farms. They grow pomegranate seeds, bitter almond kernels, Pistacia Atlantica seeds, jojoba nuts, and different herbs.

I pay them above market price, even when it costs me more. Because this is not a transaction. This is a relationship that has lasted years. Decades, for some. When you buy from us, you support them too.

Doing Right by the Earth

Long before it was trendy, we thought about waste.

We recycle our by-products and use them in other projects. We use resources efficiently. Our site is powered by green energy. Not because it looks good on a website, but because it's the only way that made sense to me.

The Proof Lives in My House

Here is the part that still amazes me, all these years later:

I now have ten cats at home. And a water turtle. No allergies. None.

The oil didn't just help me temporarily. It changed something. And what started as one woman searching for relief became a business built on giving that same relief to others.

________________________________________

A Personal Promise

I started this because I couldn't find pure oil. Twenty years later, I still check every batch. I still care about every bottle. I still remember what it felt like to stand in that shop, confused and frustrated, wanting something real.

If you have questions about our oil – if you wonder whether it's pure, whether it's right for you, whether you can trust it – ask me. I answer my own messages. I look at photos people send me of their oil and tell them honestly what I see.

That's not a marketing strategy. That's just who I am.
