Kangaroo Island Olives is a South Australian, family-owned agribusiness focused on regenerative agriculture. We deeply respect the environment and hold a fundamental belief in working with mother nature, not against her. We believe healthy soils grow healthy foods which make healthy humans.
Our farm, located beside a heritage-listed wilderness zone, reflects our deep commitment to preserving the natural beauty of Kangaroo Island. Through regenerative farming practices, we protect and enhance the environment rather than deplete it. Our olive trees sequester more carbon than it takes to produce, ensuring that our products are not only delicious but also sustainable for generations to come.
The farm, named 'Little Liguria', was established in the 1990s when Dom Esposito introduced the first Ligurian olive trees onto the island. Today, day to day farming activities are coordinated by his sons Michael and Vincent Esposito. It is a mixed farming operation which includes olive groves, honey bees, seasonal grazing, and agri-tourism, and is supported by a wider community of friends and family who regularly help out on the farm. Kalamata, Frantoio, Koroneiki, Leccino, Ligurian, and many more varieties of olives can be found on Little Liguria, with large areas of woodlands also dedicated to land care and wildlife conservation.
