Supporting our growers & the industry

Olive Growers Victoria (OGV) supports and represents all Victorian Olive Growers with a program of events providing networking and information on both business and technical aspects of olive growing.

The focus of the Association has always been on education via field days, workshops & its regular magazine, Pickled and Pressed.

Social events & networking opportunities have been an important aspect of the Association’s offering to its members. But education is always at the forefront. Even at the annual Post-Harvest Lunch & Christmas lunch, there will usually be a key note speaker talking on a contemporary topic (eg The Identification & Management of Olive Lace Bug).

OGV remains the only active olive association in Victoria.

We encourage all Victorian olive growers to join OGV.

Together we will have a louder voice.

What members are saying…

Thank you OGV for the expertise, knowledge & experience imparted to me in the management & caring of my Olive Grove.
Having no knowledge whatsoever about Olives I foolishly took on a 1500 tree grove.
Only with the advice, from members, Field Days & meetings was I able to learn to maintain and care for my grove.
Bob Karolos – Bonnie Doon

We have learned an enormous amount about olive groves, the olive farming & business from joining OGV. They always offer advice when we ask, no matter what size grove you have, are able to help in some way. The contacts & skills we have learnt has been invaluable, as we are very new to the industry. We appreciated the welcome & friendliness of the group as this was important for us too.
David & Andrea Sefton – Hillside 115

Joining OGV has not just been a way to learn about everything olive related, from controlling insect pests to detailed pruning techniques; It has also been a lot of fun meeting up with like-minded growers.
John S – Oasis Olives

As small first time olive growers we greatly value our membership of OGV for the training & networking opportunities that it provides. Being with OGV has given us the confidence to continue with the development of our grove. Without OGV our progress would have been slower & much more difficult.
