Some people inherit a farm. I went looking for one.

I grew up in Oregon, always close to the land. Every year my family went fruit picking, tended a backyard garden, and raised chickens. As I traveled, I noticed the same pattern wherever I went: where grapes thrived, figs grew. And where figs grew, olive trees followed.

Oregon has world-class wine. Our backyard fig tree flourished. For years, I dreamed of helping build an olive oil industry there, saving money, searching for land, and convinced it could be done.

Then in 2022, a different opportunity appeared: an established olive grove in Capolona, Tuscany. A farmhouse dating back to the 1400s. A family that had cared for the same land since 1882.

We bought the farm not to leave Oregon behind, but to learn from one of the world's great olive-growing regions. The former owners are still part of every harvest, sharing generations of knowledge as we continue caring for the grove together.

One day, Safadi Farm comes home to Oregon. Until then, every bottle is harvested by our family in Capolona and shipped directly from our grove in Tuscany.
