Hey. You.
You wanna get in on the ground floor of this thing?
We're racking up travel miles on our dirty old Peugeot Partner this year so you don't have to. Why? Because we're buying up a whole mess of REAL small-production, farmstead extra virgin olive oil, and we want to ship some to you.
We need 200 willing participants to come along on the virtual ride with us.
You want IN?

Total for today: $50
Ongoing Monthly Subscription: $50
next payment due 4/15/25
Very simply, for the next 10 months from March-December 2025, we're asking you for $50/month so that we can source some really great, authentic, extra virgin olive oil for your home kitchen.
Three or four times during 2025 we'll send you a care package of what we've found. You’ll be following along with us the whole way, but each product will come with a story of its origin, its maker, what you can look for when you first try it…all that jazz.
You’ll receive somewhere around 8-10 liters of oil this year, and won’t pay a nickel more for the shipping or anything else. That's a REAL DEAL, eh?

What's the Big Deal? All Extra Virgin Oilve Oil is the same, right? Ummmm...NO!
Farmstead vs. Gas Factory

Most of what's avaialble in supermarkets or big box stores is flawed, mass-produced junk.

It's cool to support small farmers. We all know that by now, right?
Freshness Matters
Freshness Matters
Oil that is old, tired, heat-damaged, and oxidized is gross. You don't have to settle for that.

Really good extra virgin olive oil, quite simply, makes your food taste better. Period.
Who We Are
Dan Beekley
This new project aims to let me do for you what I do best--evangelize, proselytize, idealize, promote, advocate, and peddle.
It's all pretty simple.
30 years in the wine importing business afforded me many things, but none were more satisfying than meeting mom and pop farmers all around Europe. During that time, really great Olive Oil became another passion for me. There's truly nothing like it.
Also, I really like to travel and eat good food, and this is another way to do it.
Farmers and Millers
There’s a movement afoot in the olive oil world. A lot has been written about the wine business in Europe in the 50’s and 60’s where there were lots of farmers, and very few winemakers, except those employed by the local agricultural cooperatives. That’s how wine arrived on the market–not by an independent craftsperson, but as industrial bulk. And by our observation, that’s where the olive oil industry is today. It’s overloaded with boring, flavorless mass-produced junk.
Thankfully, that might be changing though, and the high-touch, quality-focused, small family farmer is leading the way.
