34 Years. 3 Generations. Made in California

 

McEvoy Ranch is a family-owned, 550-acre working farm in Petaluma, CA known for the world's best estate-produced, Extra Virgin Olive Oil. For over three decades, our olive oil has been sustainably produced at our Northern California Ranch with the highest level of craftsmanship for you to enjoy. From orchard to table, we take the greatest care to grow, harvest, mill, and bottle with high quality standards. Our olive oil is traceable, fresh, and so delicious. We have continued to hone our craftsmanship and diversify our offerings, with the addition of olive oil skin & body care, culinary products, and small-lot wines, all with the same goal of sharing the world’s best olive oil products with you.

The McEvoy Family

Inspired by her love of Tuscan olive oil, Nan founded McEvoy Ranch in 1990. After falling in love with a sprawling former dairy farm in Petaluma, Nan imported 1,000 seedlings from Italy, determined to produce the same top-quality olive oil in California. Her daring vision came to fruition, enabling her to share the olive oil she first fell in love with everyone who has discovered McEvoy Ranch since.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Here at McEvoy Ranch, we believe that strong communities are built around healthy, natural food. We support our local community by being good stewards of the land and producing beautiful natural products. To maintain a healthy balance with our natural surroundings, only 10% of the ranch is planted. This purposeful strategy aligns with our strong commitment to ensuring we provide good land stewardship for our olive orchards and other fruits, vegetables, flora, and fauna grown on the estate. Our orchards and gardens are maintained in accordance with organic regulations, and fertile soil is the foundation of our farming practices. To enrich its nutrient content and to reduce waste and water consumption, we produce our own CCOF-certified organic compost from the by-products of olive oil production.
