The Olive Yards
Back to the Taste, Forward with The Planet
The Olive Yards has as its primacy objective the protection and valorization of the Mediterranean olive tree ecosystems.
With our connecting olive farms and mills at this platform, we share our eco-friendly practices, such as circular farming of the olives, our zero waste biorefinery solution and net-positive production of olive oils.
Read more about our mission
The olive industry has a problem. Production of olive oil generates 80% waste, only 20% of food product (olive oil).
The olive yards provides a revolutionary solution to this industry's problem, the olive waste biorefinery systems (OWB).
By valorising the olive waste stream we avoid environmental harm is done, instead it provides new revenue streams by converting the olive waste in commercial by-products, not only used to promote soil and plant health in olive tree agriculture but also boosting plant growth in e.g the Wine Industry!
Here we cut back the growth cycle, from young vine to maturity, from 2 years to 1 year !
We convert Olive Waste in new revenue opportunities!
Eat Well,Live Well
Fully Transparant
Every single bottle or can of the olive oils from The Olive Yards is fully traceable online and from the label.
Its how we challenge other olive oil brands to be fully transparent too. We share how to adopt the global strategy called “Safety from the fields to the table” that concerns the entire food chain and involves all involved in the circular farming, sustainable production, distribution and digital marketing applied by the Olive Yards control plan.
Bio-Circular Farmed
Not just another olive oil...
We produce circular with other olive farmers across the Mediterranean for consumers across Europe.

Zero Waste
Olive waste in an industry wide problem
With our agri-tech partner we convert waste, e.g to bio-compost and give it back to our trees and other crop growers
How we work?
Know your source, know what you eat
Our farmers are working together with Greek agri-scientist through an innovative, bio-circular and regenerative farm system.
The platform is insuring every participating olive farm can comply with the sustainable and circular production specifications and the related control plan.
Plus 1 - Fair price
The platform has a social twist also: Through our online business model we can provide a fair price to the customer.
With every liter of olive oil sold, we provide 1 Euro to the connected farmers of the platform. The program has set up to enhance the lives of local farming families, bringing back the spirit and culture of harvest celebration growing these fine local communities.
Foodies First
Buy, Adopt, Enjoy
