About Us

---

Jason and Rachel bought the Hope in Spades Ranch in April, 2020. Yes, right at the beginning of the horrible pandemic that swept its way across the world. They weren't trying to buy an olive orchard. In fact, they were barely trying to buy anything at all. This was the first and only place they looked at. As they say, they knew it was the one when they saw it. 

The ranch is 44 acres of insanely gorgeous rolling hills. There are just shy of 8 acres that make up the orchard. This is about 2000 trees- mission, arbequina, and lucca olives. 

As there is literally only one neighbor, (Hi, Rusty!) and he's a couple hundred acres over, it's a bit of the wild west out here. Other than Jason and Rachel, there is Jinx Thurman, the baby Great Pyrenees whose only hobby seems to be napping and 2 chickens: Field, and Otro.  These are the creatures who live here- but there are plenty of other creatures cruising in and out. You can read all about them in the blog. God help us.
