Our 150 acres of olives is planted in Artesia Wells, TX on heritage land that has been in the family for over 125 years. Our name came from our great great great grandmother, Texana Ramsey Henrichson. We continue to grow olives and produce olive oil from these same precious acres that were covered in watermelons and cattle years ago. On top of this, we have our hands in the productIon of over 500 acres of olives in the state of Texas.
