Birregurra Estate Olives is set in the picturesque village of Birregurra
situated at the feet of the Otway Ranges. There are approximately 3500 Kalamata
Olive trees the oldest having been planted in 2000. Being a nurseryman by
profession Robin has tended to these trees as if they were his children
and of course they have capriciously produced 5tonnes in 2003. We have created
the cultural experience for many people from differing ethnic backgrounds
all of whom want to be included in this years harvest. These people have
forwarded a wealth of information on growing, pruning, and fertilising (not
always correct but that‘s half the fun). We’ve had a lot of forward
orders from these people for future years so impressed were they with the
grove and the finished Kalamata olive. It’s true - olives have
the capacity to transcend all cultures and bring us all together.
Birregurra Estate Olives produces Kalamata Table Fruit which
will be available off-farm as well as being sold into local restaurants
and deli’s. Enjoy! |
