The Trees

In 2001, we planted our first field. We planted our second in 2003. Now, 1,800 trees are planted on the peaceful slopes of our Sonoma County farm. We often hold our evening meditations in the beautiful, peaceful groves. Many of our olive trees have been dedicated by our friends in memory or in honor of loved ones. Thus, our olive trees are loved and blessed by many hearts and hands.


The nuns in the ancient Tuscan monastery of Valserena, in Italy, considered to have the finest olive oil in the Cistercian Order of monks and nuns, suggested this blend to us. “Treat your olive trees like children,” the abbess directed. And we do. We pressed the first oil for ourselves in 2006.

Organic

Our trees grow on the rolling hills of our Sonoma County homestead. Our CCOF-certified organic olive oil is grown and harvested with the utmost care. 

Hand Harvested

Like all fresh fruits, olives must be treated gently. Friends, volunteers, and local employees help us pick the olives by hand – an old-fashioned, neighborly way to harvest.

Cold Pressed Within Hours

Great olive oil needs to be processed within a few hours. As baskets of fruit are brought in from the field, we begin pressing in the barn.

Heart-Healthy

Polyphenols are the antioxidants found in olive oil.  Our 2024 Harvest yielded an extremely high polyphenol count 666 ppm!
