Canterbury Olive Oil

Our EVOO so loved, it is sold out from our 2023 Harvest.
Our 2024 Harvest yield, whilst beautiful EVOO, was affected by the Canterbury drought over this years summer, and affected yield to support online sales.
We are now busy on our grove preparing for Harvest 2025.
See you then!
Best regards, the team at Two Old Soldiers Grove

Harvesting

Our Harvester is able to harvest around 200- 250 trees a day. Working 9am to around 4pm, we need to allow time for the fruit to warm a little before we start and we need to stop harvesting before it cools down too much, remember it is mid-winter.

Fruit bins which hold around 300Kg will need to be delivered to site and you will need to provide a tractor with forks to move the bins around the grove and load them onto the trailer for delivery to the press. At the press your fruit will need to be deleafed. This removes the leaves and twigs that you don’t want going through the processor with your fruit.

We may ask for a pic of your fruit to ensure it is ripe enough to harvest, probably the week before the booking.
