Olives grown in the desert have no natural predators so no pesticides are ever needed.
Sustainable farming produces abundant food without depleting the earth’s resources or polluting its environment. Sustainable agriculture is also the agriculture of social values, whose success benefits the community, respects workers, and provides wholesome foods.
The Queen Creek Olive Mill’s farming practices and products exemplify our dedication to the environment and the health of our customers.
We do not use pesticides, or genetically mutated trees, we use water-conserving irrigation methods, recycle, and compost all organic waste. Our prepared foods use herbs and vegetables grown on the farm as much as possible and we source local foods and services to support our local farming community.
