Guard a Tree
Begin with a single olive tree and take part in the life of the grove and the harvest it produces.
Guard a Tree in Tuscany
Guardianship links you to a rescued olive tree in a specific grove, making exceptional extra virgin olive oil possible. Each season, its harvest returns to your table.
When a grove comes back, everything connected to it does too.
More than 5,000 abandoned olive trees restored to harvest across six Tuscan groves.
How Guardianship Works
Begin with a Tree
Guardianship begins with a single tree in one of our restored Tuscan groves. From there, the seasons do the rest.
Part of the Work
The groves require year-round care. Pruning, soil work, harvest, the thousand decisions that shape what ends up in the bottle. Your guardianship is what makes that work possible, season after season.
Life in the Grove
Each harvest brings its own oil, shaped by that season and no other. Around it, the life of the grove unfolds: letters from the field, tastings, gatherings, and moments at the table shared with those who care for the same land.
Limited by Nature
Each grove contains a finite number of trees. Guardianship follows the biological limits of the land. When every tree has found its guardian, the grove closes and its harvest remains with those who care for it.
Join the Grove
Begin with one tree, or care for a family of trees within the grove.
Family Guardianship
Care for four trees and deepen your participation in the grove each harvest.
Your Tree. Your Grove. Your Harvest.
Every guardian is linked to a specific tree in a specific grove. Geo-tagged and photographed, it has a location, a variety, and a history you can follow through every season.
A digital certificate marks your place in the grove. An optional handcrafted olive wood nameplate marks it in the land itself.
Through the season, updates from the field keep you close to the work. At harvest, you hear first. Your oil ships first. Two bottles from your tree, from that harvest, from that grove.
What Guardians Experience
A Rescued Olive Tree
One tree, in one grove, in Tuscany. Geo-tagged, photographed, and yours to follow through every season.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Two bottles per tree, per harvest. Traceable to your grove, your season, and nothing else. You hear first. Your oil ships first.
The Table
Tastings, harvests, and shared meals built around the oil and the people who care for the same land.
Priority Access
Guardians receive first access to every limited harvest expression, including Community Reserve and Founder's Reserve.
Certificate of Guardianship
A formal record of your tree, your grove, and the season your care began. Digital and downloadable.
Olive Wood Nameplate
Made by hand from reclaimed Tuscan olive wood. Placed on your tree in the grove. Optional, and made to last.
What Guardians Make Possible
Groves Restored to Harvest
Neglected trees pruned back to life. Soil rebuilt. Land that had fallen silent producing again. This is what continuous, year-round care looks like over time.
Fair Wages for the People Who Do the Work
The growers, pruners, and harvesters who tend these groves are paid well above what conventional agriculture offers. Guardianship is what makes that possible.
Low-Impact Agriculture, Season After Season
Pruning, soil care, biodiversity work, and restrained harvesting. Nothing that forces the land beyond what it can give.
Trees Without Guardians, Still Cared For
A portion of every grove is held in reserve and tended regardless of allocation. No tree is left behind because guardianship hasn't reached it yet.
