Olives grown in the desert have no natural predators so no pesticides are ever needed.

Sustainable farming is one that produces abundant food without depleting the earth’s resources or polluting its environment. Sustainable agriculture is also the agriculture of social values, one whose success benefits the community, respects workers, and provides wholesome foods.
The Queen Creek Olive Mill’s farming practices and the 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. We source local foods and services and support farming community.
