Grove Custodian

Elegant. Regenerative. Rare.

A private path for families and organizations ready for long-term guardianship.
Custodians sustain 40+ rescued olive trees, funding year-round grove care, harvest, and the people behind the work. Guardianship at this level preserves living heritage, season after season.

Custodians receive direct access to the work, shaped by season and capacity:

  • Two bottles per tree, with harvest & tasting notes
  • Invitations to private tables and harvest moments (offered selectively, season by season)
  • Direct relationship with the Abandoned Grove team
  • Opportunity to visit the grove in Tuscany (by arrangement)
  • A handcrafted olive-wood nameplate placed in the grove
  • Geotagging and photography of trees under care

Custom labels and private allocations may be explored for 100+ trees.

Why it Matters

Across Italy, olive groves are being abandoned at scale.

Globally, the number reaches into the billions of trees at risk.

What’s disappearing isn’t just oil, it’s identity, biodiversity, livelihoods and a way of life.

Becoming a Custodian means restoring what still matters and ensuring it reaches its next harvest with integrity.
