If you’re fond of organice Extra Virgin Olive Oil and would like to support small family driven olive farmers in Spain, you could help them and adopt an olive tree.
Adopt an olive tree from Gil Luna’s Olive Grove and receive 4 litres of their price winning olive oil at home. You will get a picture taken of the tree on a adoption certificate. We will place a sign at the tree that says that it’s adopted by you. If you ever come to the region and wish to visit your tree, farmer Cristóbal Luna will be happy to receive you at the grove and mill. There you can see how your olive oil is produced and bottled.
By adopting a tree you won’t enter into a life-long commitment. It’s just for a year, and at the end, you might be so happy with the olive oil and idea of being a link for this farmer, that you probably will decide to renew and extend the adoption for another year. We’re glad that many do.
6 reasons why to adopt:
# 1 You will have a direct connection to the family that produces your food.
# 2 You buy directly from small family businesses, farmers that are not easily reached from where you live. Olivarera only takes care of distribution in Northern Europe.
