Ojai Olive Oil

Spring means planting time in the greenhouses, and our prep is well underway. We like the no dig method for our seed beds, which uses layers of discarded cardboard topped with about 6 of organic compost. It’s a great way to get productive use from our cardboard waste, it keeps the weeds almost entirely at bay, and the growth has been amazing. We plant seeds straight into the compost, after it has cooled down a bit. It’s a very quick and easy process, and by the time the seedlings are ready to root deeper, they’re strong enough to punch through the already degrading cardboard!

Ojai’s Pink Moment tonight was a stunner Proven fact: Olive trees with wonderful views make better olive oil : )

We have a new product! Sort of : ) We decided to rename our East End Herbs infused olive oil to Tuscan Herbs. East End is a reference to our region of the Ojai Valley, but fun and unique as that is, it was a bit confusing. This oil is fundamentally a blend of the classic five Tuscan herbs: Basil, Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano, & Garlic. We feel the new name better represents this magical oil, which has been a favorite since its launch three seasons ago. A dream for cooking any pasta, pizza, soups & sauces, this is the go-to infused oil in our kitchen : )
