Our Story
We are a family run business and farm with my Dad, Yiannis Karteras at the helm.
Yiannis grew up in rural Northern Greece where the humble olive was central to everyday life.
Dad currently takes care of everything olive oil and olive related at Agronio. He cares for the 800 olive trees without chemicals (which is quite a feat for one man!), he organises a group of pickers every year to pick the olives, drives them to the processor and then bottles, labels and ships them off around Victoria.
We have owned the farm since 2012 and Dad brings his exuberant, ceaseless energy into constantly caring for, pruning, nurturing the olive trees and land.
No wonder we have won Gold in 2024, 2022 and Silver in 2021 in the Australian International Olive Awards – see pictures of the award ceremony below!
Here we are – myself (Anatolia), Dad (Yiannis) and Patrick after completing another grueling olive harvest in 2022.
Here is Dad and my brother Anastasios in Tasmania receiving the award for
2022 Reserve Champion from the Australian International Olive Awards.
The face on our logo is Demeter, the ancient Greek goddess of agriculture and the harvest.
