Mount Zero Olives

About us
Our Farm- Planted in 1953, The Mount Zero Olive Grove is one of the oldest olive groves in Australia. Mount Zero Olives is a family owned olive grove run by Jane, Neil and Richard Seymour. Mount Zero is located three hours west of Melbourne, on the northern edge of the Grampians National Park in Victoria. Here, we practice bio-dynamic farming techniques and have the International Demeter Certification. The grove is self-sustaining in its farming practices – the trees are fed directly from the soil humus rather than chemical inputs- and energy supply is sourced from off-grid wind and solar generators.

Our commitment
Commitment to flavour, sustainable farming and a passion for quality ingredients defines Mount Zero Olives and all that we gather from our region – the Wimmera/Grampians in Western Victoria.

Our Working Relationships
Working together with other Wimmera farmers and the local indigenous community (Barenji Gadjin Land Council), Mount Zero grow and harvest lentils, farro, chickpeas and Pink Lake Salt. In 2010, Jane, Neil and Richard Seymour were recognised for their commitment to quality produce and were inducted as Melbourne Food and Wine Legends.

Our Service
Quality customer service is as important to Mount Zero as the quality of the produce. We have our own distribution warehouse in Melbourne, delivering daily to our retail and food service customer base.
