«"No one born in Provence can live without the scents of the garrigue scrubland, the gusting Mistral, the sun's caress and the magic of the olive tree, whose rippling grace has shaped the local landscape for a thousand years"

After living for 15 years on the wide-open plains of Arizona (but with our heavy French Midi accent intact!) Catherine and I decided to go back to our roots. We returned home to Provence to dedicate ourselves to our passion: the olive tree.

Castelas Mill, which we built from scratch, is the project we have nurtured ever since venturing into the world of olive farming.

We are now in charge of a 45-hectare olive grove (that's about 90 acres), located entirely in the Vallée des Baux de Provence appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) area.
