Open Invitation

Your tree loves hugs, so don't be shy about visiting. You're always welcome to come by the orchard, meet our family and see for yourself how we care for the grove. It makes our day to talk to you about your tree, olives, olive oil and their future in Texas. Please let us know when you're coming. We'll be ready to welcome you, personally show you to your adopted tree and give you a tour of the rest of the orchard.

Our nearest airport is in Austin, Texas, approximately 40 minutes from the orchard. We can send you details of how to find us, as well as suggestions of places to stay. You're welcome anytime, but we recommend the spring or fall to get the most from your visit.
