From mid-March to May, you’ll witness the careful process of olive tree pruning, a key step in ensuring the health and productivity of the trees. The Gramona family, committed to continuous improvement, invests great effort into enhancing soil quality, firmly believing that better soil yields better and tastier produce. You might even experience the hands-on preparation of hot compost, which nourishes the soil for the upcoming harvest.

April brings the awakening of delicate buds, blooming in all their beauty. Joined by wildflowers, they create a picturesque rainbow of colors across the Gramona organic olive farm.
May offers a spectacle of olive blossoms, as tiny flowers grace the groves. But this gentle rural dance has a unique twist – only 5–10% of these blossoms develop into the desired olive fruit. May and June become key months, offering insight into the potential of the coming harvest.

Explore the groves where the renowned Istrian belica, a local olive variety, stands out. Among the olive trees, various fruits, herbs, and stunning flowers in spring and autumn add a distinct scent and charm. The restored dry-stone terrace, adorned with spring blooms, provides a scenic backdrop for your adventure.

Discover the unexpected beauty hidden among the olive groves – orchids blooming beside olive trees. A delicate dance unfolds between nature and farming, creating a harmonious blend of agricultural tradition and sustainable practices.

In the summer heat, the olive trees patiently await better days and autumn rains, all while protecting their precious fruit. Despite the high temperatures, the Gramona family passes the time with seasonal pruning – young, overly vigorous branches don’t bear fruit, and their removal ensures a more open canopy and easier harvest.

A summer visit to the farm can be the perfect daytime activity, especially around noon when it’s too hot for the beach. A leisurely walk among the olive rows, finding shade in the courtyard, and taking in the warm aromas of Mediterranean herbs and trees can be a near-therapeutic experience.

As autumn arrives, the Istrian hills awaken with their most important ritual – the olive harvest at Gramona Organic Farm. The quiet summer days transform into lively autumn farming, marking the culmination of a year-long dedication to nurturing the olive trees.

The harvest season usually takes place from October to November, depending on the olive variety and local climate. Anticipation builds as the first olives take on their ripe hue, signaling the start of the long-awaited tradition of hand-picking.
