Happy Summer to all you olive oil lovers out there. Just a little update on the olive grove for 2026. We have been diligently pruning all of the dead wood left by the snow of 2025 and the borers. Whew! Thank goodness there’s an end in sight. This year we have had some bloom and we do have some olives. The yield will be very modest. Once again thank you for your support and interest.

My Best,
Beth

So here is the Olive Grove yesterday. A winter wonderland that many of us have experienced along with a snow event that has been incredible and historical. Hoping you all are safe and warm. Anyone have a giant hair dryer?🤨

What a year! A huge thank you to all who have supported A Girl and an Olive. We had the good fortune of a bountiful year. We had the best harvesters and I think we made the best oil ever. We wish you and your families a very Happy Holiday Season and the best and healthiest of New Years❤️

Merry Christmas,
Beth

Our order form should be up very shortly on agirlandanolive.com. Our 500 ml bottle is 40.00 and our 250ml is 20.00. We look forward to hearing from you soon!!

Hello Everyone,

We have not forgotten about you! In the last two years we have had the misfortune of no olives on our trees. However… this year they have woken up and we have a beautiful load of fruit. We are hoping for a bounty harvest this year. All fingers, toes and eyes crossed. So just wanted to touch base. Normally our oil should be ready for purchase by November. A lot can happen between now and then. We are optimistic and we shall keep you informed on our progress. For those who have not gone to our website agirlandanolive.com, you can leave your email on our order form page and we can let you know when the oil will be available. Hope this finds everyone happy and healthy.

My Best,
Beth Clark

I wanted to touch base with each of you and let you know how the olive grove is fairing along with fruit load this year. We had a decent amount of flowering however we also had winds during flowering time that blew most of the those blooms off. As a result we have very few olives. So few that unfortunately and my heart is broken, will not be having our normal harvest. So what that means no oil for the year. I know people look forward to giving these as gifts fo the Holidays. Because of our issues I would like to recommend some others oils and where you can purchase these. The first is Lucchetti olive oil in Sonoma. Rob says the oil should be ready by late November to early December. A 250ml bottle is 20.00 and the 500ml is 40.00. Tsarina olive oil is formally Talcott oil and they offer a 350ml bottle for 35.00. You can call Annie Trimpe at 707-252-9065. The last is Round Pond. They offer a 350ml bottle for 48.00 and an 8 ounce bottle for 38.00. Their contact is 888-302-2575. We are hoping for the best year next year. Prayers and fingers crossed. In the mean time schedule a tour. We would love to show you around.
My Best,

It’s olive oil time again. We had a very cool spring which provided us with a later harvest. This year we had no hurricanes. Yay! Our damaged trees from last year are coming back slowly. Don’t know when they might be producing again, however we had a good fruit load on the trees that were unaffected. We did have a good harvest. We just finished the last two varieties. Very soon our order page will be up and going at agirlandanolive.com. You may place your order soon. This year along with our 500ml and 200ml bottles we will offer a gift bag for 2.50 each. Thanks again for your support of A Girl and an Olive. Happy Holidays to all!
