Georgia Olive Farms, an agricultural cooperative formed
in 2009, is the leading East Coast producer and marketer
of olive trees and our own branded Georgia Olive Farms
Extra Virgin Olive Oil. We invest in and continue to create
systems for successful olive farming in the southeastern
United States.
Georgia Olive Farms, in 2011, conducted the first commercial
harvest of olives east of the Mississippi River since the late 1800’s.
The olives harvested were pressed into extra virgin olive oil which
is marketed under the Georgia Olive Farms label. GOF is working
with farmers and investors to provide sustainable, locally produced olive oil
to east coast consumers. The efforts of Georgia Olive Farms should
result in a significantly reduced carbon foot print for olive oil consumed on
the east coast. Each year, Georgia Olive Farms will be the first to harvest
olives in the United States and can provide the very freshest olive oil to U.S.
consumers, especially on the east coast.
Georgia Olive Farms stands ready to assist those interested in establishing olive orchards on the east coast. GOF has succeeded in
establishing market channels for olive oil produced on the east coast and can purchase olive oil directlly or provide grower contracts.
Alabama commissioner of agriculture welcomes Georgia Olive Farms to Alabama sustainable agriculture conference oct 24th and was pleased to leave with olive oil and Gayla's Grits.
