All You Need to Know About This Product

Adopt an olive tree in Italy 🌿

If you would like to adopt an olive tree, you are giving a real organic olive tree 🫒🌳 on our Sassolive farm in Alpicella special attention—and bringing a piece of Italian lifestyle into your home at the same time. 🌞 On an idyllic hill above the Riviera dei Fiori, we cultivate old Taggiasca olive trees by hand using traditional methods. With every adoption, you also support the non-profit organization Rete Tesori della Riviera, which is committed to preserving the cultural landscape and sustainable agriculture. 💚

How adopting your olive tree works 🌱

1. Start your adoption:
Choose the right option to adopt your olive tree—small, standard, or large—and symbolically take on sponsorship of your tree. Your tree receives a personalized nameplate made of olive wood, handcrafted and weather-resistant. Micol or Elena will create photos 📷 as well as a personal video 📹 for you.

2. Personal updates:
Throughout the year, we will accompany you with pictures and a video of your tree. You will experience firsthand how your olive tree buds, blossoms, and finally bears olives—Mediterranean lifestyle included. 📸

3. Your own organic olive oil:
From mid-October, we begin harvesting the olives from your tree 🌳. This process can take up to two months. The freshly pressed olive oil then rests for about 4 weeks before it is bottled. You will usually receive your olive oil in January or February. ☀️

4. Visit on site:
By arrangement, you can visit your olive tree at any time. Many combine adopting an olive tree with a holiday in Liguria and experience on site how care and harvesting are traditionally done by hand. ☀️

Then you will receive the olive oil from your tree 🫒

After the harvest, we take the olives to Frantoio Calvi in Imperia—an organic-certified oil mill. There, they are gently cold-extracted (≤ 27 °C). This creates a high-quality, pure organic olive oil that is directly connected to your tree. In winter, we send your fresh oil conveniently to your home—mild, fruity, and typically Taggiasca. 💛

The quantity depends on your selection when adopting an olive tree:
Small = 1 bottle, Standard = 3 bottles, Large = 6 bottles.

Each bottle carries the character of your tree—shaped by sun, wind, and the soils around Alpicella near Imperia.

Who we are 🌾

Visit your tree:
You are warmly invited to visit your olive tree on our Sassolive farm at any time. By arrangement, we will show you your tree, explain its care, and let you experience the special atmosphere of the Ligurian terraced landscape. 🌿

Your contribution:
With every olive tree adoption, you directly support the organization Rete Tesori della Riviera. Together, we promote organic farming, sustainable irrigation, and the preservation of traditional olive groves—for greater biodiversity and a stable ecosystem. 🌍

About My Bio Farm:
We are a cooperative project with a great passion for ecological agriculture. Our goal is to reconnect people and nature more closely. Anyone who would like to adopt an olive tree becomes part of this idea—sustainable, transparent, and with genuine joy. 💚

Transparency Notice:
Yield and harvest can fluctuate, up to a total loss. The organic olive oil is shipped in winter after pressing. Every adoption remains a true natural product. 🌿

    Sponsoring an olive tree is a truly great and special idea. The entire process was not only very fast but also extremely friendly and pleasant.

    The gift package was sent promptly and arrived safely. I particularly liked the pictures and the video of my olive tree – everything was transmitted without any problems and made the whole experience even more personal.

    And the best part: the olive oil is of excellent quality – the taste is truly top-notch and absolutely recommended!

    I can recommend Organic Farming from the heart and am very happy to be part of this sustainable project.

    I am deeply moved by this experience.

    Adopting an olive tree is so much more than a “product” to me; it is a connection to something living. My tree, Luce Serena, immediately took on a very special meaning for me.

    The support from Organic Farming Italy was very loving, personal, and attentive from the start. The photos and the video made the whole thing so tangible. I can really feel that the work here is done with heart.

    It is a wonderful feeling to know that “my” tree is standing and growing somewhere in Italy. And the fact that it will later produce olive oil makes it even more special.

    Thank you very much for this special project and the mindful implementation. I feel very well supported and connected.

    Recommended from the heart. 🌿

    Ich bin zutiefst berührt von dieser Erfahrung.

    Einen Olivenbaum zu adoptieren ist für mich so viel mehr als ein „Produkt“, es ist eine Verbindung zu etwas Lebendigem. Mein Baum, Luce Serena, hat für mich sofort eine ganz besondere Bedeutung bekommen.

    Die Begleitung durch Organic Farming Italy war von Anfang an sehr liebevoll, persönlich und aufmerksam. Die Fotos und das Video haben das Ganze so greifbar gemacht. Ich spüre wirklich, wie hier mit Herz gearbeitet wird.

    Es ist ein wunderschönes Gefühl zu wissen, dass irgendwo in Italien „mein“ Baum steht und wächst. Und dass daraus später Olivenöl entsteht, macht es noch besonderer.

    Vielen Dank für dieses besondere Projekt und die achtsame Umsetzung. Ich fühle mich sehr gut begleitet und verbunden.

    Von Herzen empfehlenswert. 🌿
