Queen Creek Olive Mill


Queen Creek Olive Mill is the only working olive mill and farm in Arizona.  The olive groves are located at the base of the San Tan Mountains on the Gila River flood plains. This region has fertile soils which produce quality fruits and vegetables.  

Olive Affair
Tours are offered to see first hand how olives are pressed into fresh extra virgin olive oil. Here you can sample olive oil, spa products and fresh baked goods.


Sampling Olive Oil
I sampled chocolate olive oil and bacon olive oil along with an artichoke/roasted garlic tapenade. We purchased a French baguette to break bread with friends and enjoy the tapenades in the olive grove.
