Participation in Abandoned Grove takes different forms, but all begin the same way: by sustaining living trees and the system that protects them.
Choose how you’d like to enter the work.
Care for one rescued olive tree through the season, with oil released after harvest.
Begin a year of care on someone else’s behalf, rooted in a single rescued tree.
Sustain a small family of trees and receive a broader expression of the harvest.
These actions include Root Membership for their duration.
From the moment a tree enters care, members are part of the season as it unfolds.
You receive updates from the groves, letters from the harvest, and insight into the decisions that shape each year.
Gatherings, tastings, and moments at the table emerge from this shared work.
Some are intimate.
Some are public.
All are shaped by care, not commerce.
This is a living community, renewed each year through patience, craft, and time.

Participation fuels regeneration, supports above-standard quality testing, and strengthens collaboration with partners like Olivares Vivos to promote biodiversity at the grove level. It helps maintain the highest B Corp score in the olive oil world, directs 1% of our revenue to mission-aligned environmental nonprofits, and sustains our social integration program, providing ~4,000 hours of dignified work each year.
