outstanding growers in Northern California.
The
Durant family’s history in the Willamette Valley, now spanning five
generations, began with English walnuts, hazelnuts, Italian prunes, and
cherries. In 1973, the family was among the first in Oregon to attempt
growing wine grapes in the Dundee Hills. They planted olives in 2004,
establishing one of the few olive orchards in Oregon. They handcraft
their signature olive oils with their own distinctive Pacific Northwest
aromas and flavors. While honoring the old-world tradition of olive oil
production, they believe in the potential for creating unique,
world-class olive oils in Oregon.
The family has
a deep and lasting connection to the land and has always felt a
responsibility to their land as caretakers and farmers, and it is now
their joy to share this connection with you.
