Olive

    (Olea europaea)

Olive oil is not available for 2010.  Enquire at the Contact page for future sales.

Olive trees grow satisfactorily in the well drained sandy loam soils at The Stiks. However, a number of natural causes, such as hail, dust storms, drought and bird attack have resulted in poor yields.  The grove came into production in 2008. Fresh olives are cold pressed into extra virgin olive oil, bottled and sold locally.

Based on the prolific flowering in 2009 (which was subsequently destroyed by the dust storm) the yield potential is promising for future crops and higher yields.
