Well, we've had a good run of three years, winning gold medals for our oil in the Golden Olive Awards and the Australian International Olive Awards each year, including a Best in Show. But 2024 saw our crop wiped out by Lace Bug, along with most of North East Victoria. No harvest, no 2024 oil.

We are now out of stock of our 2023 harvested oil. (Well, out of stock in terms of sales. It's still very good and we are using it amongst ourselves, family and friends, but no longer selling it as the standard 2 year "best before" date has expired.)

The impact of Lace Bug on our trees was so severe that they did not flower in November 2024, and so we did not have a crop in 2025.

So, where are we up to?
