ABOUT

Ojai Olive Oil, Inc. is a family owned and operated business that came into existence 10 years ago. Our farm is located in Southern California’s Ojai Valley that lies straight north of the coastal town of Ventura - 80 miles north of Los Angeles and 35 miles south of Santa Barbara. The Asquith Farm is located on the southern edge of the Los Padres National Forest. We are surrounded by dramatic natural beauty and share our land with numerous forms of wildlife that roam the hills and mountains. Like a vigilant guardian of the Ojai Valley and its bounty, Chief Peak rises more than 5000 feet just to the north of our olive grove.
