Mother Nature calls the shots every year
As an example our Olive harvest 2022 started on the 14th July, a month later than the previous year.
We now use a mechanical harvesting method of harvesting and collecting the olives.
625 of our 1700 trees were harvested that year, netting us 9 tonnes of beautiful fresh plump olives.
The harvest was completed in 1 day compared to the previous harvest, which took 10 days with the help of many family and friends.
24 large crates of olives left the Forest edge farm for a short journey by semi-trailer to Boyanup for processing. Keep fingers crossed everyone that we will get a great harvest every year!
After Harvest and Processing.
The oil will is transferred to our special stainless steel vats to settle for 6 to 8 weeks before it is available to our loyal customers.
