About UsThe farm has been in the Lewis family since 1988. The olive trees were first planted in 1998 and have been cared for personally by the family ever since. The GroveGrown in rich red valley soil our olives produce some of the finest olive oil available. Chapman River Olives is situated 26 kms NNE of Geraldton in the Mid West of WA, and 450 kms north of Perth. The olive grove is located adjacent to the Chapman River. The river flats under the trees comprise rich red loam. The olive trees have responded well to this soil type and all varieties (mainly Queen of Spain, Kalamata, WA Mission, Frantoio, Picual, Picholine & Coratina) are laden with fruit in season. The olive oil produced is soft and delicate (due to region, soil type, quality water, plenty of sun, and organic fertilizers), with a grassy, tropical and floral fruit bouquet and a mild peppery finish. We have won medals for the oil since production began in 2005, progressing consecutively from Bronze to Silver to Gold. |
