Growing Olives

Elmswood Farm is a fully certified Biodynamic/Organic farm. CERTIFICATION NUMBER ACO 10756

We use no synthetic fertilisers or any chemicals in the management of our grove.

Our grove isn’t the tidiest grove. We do not focus on the look of it – though we think it is very beautiful, but rather, pay attention to the health and survival of the trees. Sheep graze the grove to help manage the grass cover.

We soon realised after planting that the biggest obstacle we were facing was the volume of water needed to maximise production. We live on an unregulated river, The Pages, and when it goes dry there’s simply no water. Consequently our olive volume fluctuates.
