Join the DeAnza Olive Oil Club!

We are excited to announce that the De Anza Olive Oil Club is back! For those interested in joining, we’d be delighted to welcome you to the Club!

Members experience olives from first bloom to harvest, adopt an olive tree, and participate in events throughout the year with olive orchard operations from pruning to the harvesting and bottling of extra virgin olive oil. The history of olives in California will be covered throughout the year.

The Club is perfect for families, friends, individuals, and even corporate team-building activities, offering memorable outdoor experiences in a beautiful, tranquil setting. We’re looking forward to a fantastic harvest this year and hope you can join us in this exciting season!

About the Club

In honor of our location along the De Anza National Historic Trail, we’re excited to invite you, your family, and your friends to become a part of the De Anza Olive Oil Club!

As a member, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the Spanish Manzanilla Olive, a variety grown throughout California. This olive was originally brought over from Spain and planted during the early Mission Days of California, along the historic De Anza Trail.

Through hands-on experiences in our orchard, you’ll learn about the rich history and cultivation of this unique olive variety, and how it contributes to the creation of our premium Handprints Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Membership

A membership to the DeAnza club is free, and we invite you to join us for our seasonal events throughout the year (Spring, Summer, and Fall.) Each season brings a unique, hands-on experience centered around the Manzanilla olive, from staking your tree and spring pruning, to summer pest care, and of course, harvesting in the fall. Enjoy learning, connecting, and experiencing the full olive-growing journey with us.

To become a member, call (925) 606-8855 or email derek@purpleorchid.com today. Subscribe to our Newsltter to stay up to date on events and updates.
