Pressing the harvest of our olive trees into our very own oil has been a goal of ours. We quickly realized that our 12 trees would be insufficient so Stijn started looking at cheap olive groves to renovate.

Over the course of the past few months we have searched for, visited and ultimately purchased an olive grove.

Our area has many olive groves that are unkept and abandoned due to younger generations moving into the bigger cities. This all made me very excited to look into purchasing some additional land to meet the minimum of 200kg/440lbs to ensure the mill will press our own oil.

We looked at a total of 4 options and eventually decided to purchase a grove with 15 well kept and established trees near our home.
