When owners Imre and Sue Mencshelyi began planning their refocus from corporate/city living to getting back to their roots back in 2004, little did they know the adventure that awaited them. Looking for some land, an old Dairy farm that had been converted to a newly established olive farm in the South West of Western Australia was too good an opportunity to miss. 

Now officially retired Imre and Sue have handed over the management of the farm and business to Stacey Elward & Ann-Marie Carpanini who joined the family business in 2017.  Originally from Wales, UK, with no real knowledge of growing olives, let alone caring from livestock, they have fully embraced their new life down under and in a short period of time settled into the olive farming role.

Additional Info: Our annual harvest takes place during April/May.  Limited edition of freshly pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil is available to purchase from our Farm Shop and Tasting Room.
