Pick Your Own Olives

 

Harvest time is here again, the trees are heavy with ripening olives and the press is already busy. We currently have large pickling varieties, Verdale, Kalamata and UC13A6 (Californian Queen) at optimum ripeness available for Pick Your Own harvesting at $2.50 per kg. We can provide harvesting baskets, crates, etc and also a recipe for making your own table olives. We can also supply specialised pickling containers so all you need to add is salt and water.

 

Our oil varieties will soon be ready for harvesting at 60c per kg plus our usual processing charges. If you’d like your very own cold pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil but don’t have any trees then no problem. Come along in the morning and go home in the afternoon with your freshly pressed “olio novello”.

It’s always a good idea to give us a call before you make the trip to check availability.
