Harvest | Baroness Olive Oil

Community Olive Harvest October 2025

IS FINISHED!
With the help of 90 volunteers and a main crew of 17
We harvested 11 tons of olives in only 5 days,
which yielded 405 gallons of olive oil.
New Oil (Olio Nuovo) will be available November 2025
Baroness Olive Oil is so very grateful for everyone who came to harvest this year! We could not have done it so well and so fast without your help!

INFORMATION ABOUT THE 2026 COMMUNITY HARVEST IS LISTED BELOW:

Calling out to all you wonderful volunteers that love the outdoors and don't mind getting a little dirty. We LOVE to have you help, and are grateful for any time that you are available on these dates. In the past we have had many volunteers that literally "saved the day" of harvest and helped us to get the olives all picked. There are several different tasks to do, at different ability levels, so come and see where you fit in to help. This is a family friendly event, bring your family and friends to have a fun outing in the olive grove and be one with nature. Children are welcome as long as they stay with you and don't step on the olives ;). Sorry, no pets (they do step on the olives). If you love olive oil like we do, this is a wonderful way to get to know us, your local olive farmers, and see how it all works. No one goes home hungry, or empty handed. Lunch will be served and a gift for volunteering :) We look forward to hearing from you.

PLEASE RSVP text/call Barbara 707-483-1473 or email BaronessOliveOil@yahoo.com with date, # of people, cell # in case we need to reach you for last minute updates/changes.

DATES: approx. mid October (dates to be determined in Sept. 2026)

HARVEST ADDRESS: 5730 Fruitvale Rd, Newcastle CA 95658

TIME: 7am-5pm Just to let you know, we need extra hands all throughout the day, but especially on Oct 18th at 7am to get started with a smooth start, AND also everyday from 3-5p to finish out the day and get all the olives thru the M.O.O. machine (Matter Other than Olives), to get the olives ready to go to the olive mill.

WHAT TO BRING: Comfortable closed toe'd shoes and hat. Optional: Sunglasses and thin gloves (so you can feel the olives in your fingers when picking)
