About Hare Hollow

Hare Hollow was inspired through a cooperative of farmers, all striving to produce really good 'California Olive Oils.' By enabling us to crop-share from some various olive groves in different areas of the state, we have been able to come up with some nice extra-virgin olive oils. We invite you to try some of them, and see for yourself how good they can be and share them with friends and family.
