Grove Custodianship, from forty trees

A gift that comes back every harvest.

Each year, the people you choose receive a year with an olive tree in Tuscany and two bottles of its grove’s oil, from you.

Your trees stand together in one of our groves. You decide who receives each one, this year and the next, and we bring the oil to every door.

More than 5,000 olive trees restored to harvest in the hills above Florence.

Your section of the grove.

Your trees stand side by side in one section of a grove, marked with a nameplate in olive wood carrying your name. We choose the section, with your preferences in mind. Each tree is numbered, photographed and placed on the map at its exact coordinates, and all of them sit in your My Grove. You can walk among them, host a tasting beside them, and reach our team directly. We arrange the rest.

How it’s given

One grove. Many tables.

  • A tree for each person you choose. Each receives a year with their tree in My Grove. The next year it returns to you, ready to give again.

  • A gift that stays at the table. Opened, poured over dinners for weeks, shared. Then it arrives again with the next harvest.

  • Forty trees, forty tables. Every harvest, forty people pour oil from a grove they know.

  • Addresses stay with you. If you prefer, the bottles come to you, and you hand them over yourself.

Two bottles of the grove’s oil with the tasting notes

What arrives

Two bottles from every tree, every harvest.

  • Two 500 ml bottles per tree.

    Drawn from the grove where your trees stand.

  • Tasting notes.

    Written for each harvest by Fil Bucchino, international olive oil expert and panel taster.

  • The harvest booklet.

    What happened in the groves that year, and what your trees made possible.

  • Postcards

    from the grove.

  • Your nameplate, twice.

    One marks your trees in the grove. Its twin is sent to you.

Stored under nitrogen and flown from Italy, so the oil reaches each table as fresh as it left the mill. Shipping included to Canada and the United States. For the United States, tariffs are included.

The groves behind your name

What your name keeps in care.

Six groves in the hills above Florence, 72 acres in our care, tended by the people who know them, led by Andrea Pagliai, master grower of the groves in our care.

  • People.

    Since 2014, 57 people have worked in the groves through our social integration programme, about 4,000 hours a year.

  • Life in the grove.

    In 2025, LIFE Olivares Vivos+ counted 49 bird, 25 spider, 18 ant, 12 bat and 8 pollinator species in our groves.

  • Freshness.

    Our peroxides average under a third of what the international standard allows.

  • Tested.

    Every harvest by certified laboratories. No pesticide residue has ever been detected.

In their words

“In this world where so much is artificial and fleeting, I appreciate being able to be part of something that has greater meaning.”
Jordan S. · Grove Custodian
“The only way to learn and experience first hand how harvesting and producing the best olive oil connects a community from farming to top-tier cuisine. A one of a kind experience.”
Dave B. · Grove Custodian
