Mt. Olive Farm

Had a delicious organic lunch. Beautiful views of vineyards and fruit trees. You can try their different olive oils, dressings, sauces, olives.

Super cute and small country style farm with a bit of an Asian flair. The green chili dip with stand your hair up. We ended up getting a salad and noodles and were perfect light courses for in between wine tasting.

Wonderful tasting selection. You can literally taste every product — the tapenades, olive oils, balsamic vinegars, peach and plum nougat, olives, apple sauce, and so on. And the spicy olives really are spicy! Nom nom nom. My man says this is the first place he’d go back to in Paso to get some olives. And with all that said, the landscaping is beautiful!

Small selection but very quality products here. Store seems to be family run and owned by an Asian family.
Joyce was right; bought a bag of the persimmon walnut nougat. Very special and great chew. About $ 6/​bag
The hills behind the retail store sport all the olive trees.

Was brought here by friends on a central coast trip we took. We brought our daughters and they had a fun time while we waited for the fresh food.
The meat in the sloppy joes was grass fed and well flavored. The gluten free bread was delicious and tomatoes were really good.
Great store as well. Glad to support a family organic farm.

Great selection of various olive products. They also serve some reeeeeeally tasty sandwiches. I got the teriyaki chicken sandwich which was awesome. I with they would put more of that delicious teriyaki sauce on it though. The ingredients tasted like they were planted and grown specifically for my sandwich.
There are also some goats, llamas, bunnies and chickens around the back that are very friendly and photogenic.

I’m so glad I came to visit this charming organic farm! They have pigs, alpacas, rabbits for sale, even a tortoise. They serve delicious lunches that will leave you feeling satisfied and healthy! Fresh sprouts! Fresh Juices like Pine Needle Juice! Try it :) They have an olive oil tasting area and I got the green olive tapenade! All Organic. Their little market has everything from produce to health supplements. The persimmon walnut nougat is so delicious!

No one even said «hi» when we came in. I came in with a group hoping to learn about their olive oils, but we felt like we were intruding. They have a good product selection, but shopping there wasn’t any fun.

We celebrates our 27^th Anniversary… and could not have selected a better place.
Greeted by Lydia; she was amazing at pulling us in to having the best experience ever. The meals were all specially and delicious.
We loved the France room it was soo comfortable and romantic. The views are amazing. I really can’t say enough about this place. Also, great rates for what you get.
Thank you all for making it my top ten!

This is such a charming place to visit, and they carry such wonderful, unique products at very reasonable prices. Definitely try the delicious organic persimmon walnut nougat ($ 5.50) and organic caramel walnuts ($ 5.50)!

Amidst the fine wineries which adorn the hillside of North Paso’s Adelaida Rd, rests a humble and peaceful organic farm, Mount Olive.
Organic olives, fruits, vegetables, composting tools and farm-​fresh eggs — all on site and ready for purchase.
At the market and restaurant, patrons can purchase a wide variety of organics goods, most of which are grown and/​or made on the property. From freshly made fruit nougat to organic olive tapanades to freshly baked breads to exotic seasonal ingredients (i.e., Shiso), Mt. Olive is equipped to satisfy most of your grocery needs.
This past weekend, we stopped by for lunch at the front end of a wine-​hopping journey [perks of living in SLO County]. Dare I say… BEST LUNCH IN PASO? While Justin, Artisan and Thomas Hill are great eats, from my mouth to Edesia’s ears, the food at Mt. Olive is beyond compare. Sure the ambiance is humble and home-​like; but, in this case, that’s just how I wanted it.
At Mt. Olive, the focus is on serving the highest quality, seasonal ingredients — most of which have traveled no more than a basket carry to arrive on my plate. It’s just that simple: fresh + local + seasonal = supreme.
Duck Egg Burger on House-​Baked Bun: First time having a duck egg in any preparation and I am definitely sold. It’s yoke-​driven flavor and perfect seasoning made me forget completely that there was no other protein involved. The egg and veg served as great compliments to the finish of the freshly cooked bread. I can’t remember ever having a better carb! Not in SF, not in Italy, not anywhere!
To wash down the juicy burger I ordered a true Mt. Olive Original — Shiso Tea. If you love Shiso, Japan’s version of Basil, you will fall head-​over-​heals for this unique brew. It is made simply from Shiso (grown on site), purified water and organic brown cane sugar.
Chicken Potstickers: Made fresh with organic produce, these dumplings are pillows of heaven on a plate. It wouldn’t be fair to compare them to the soup dumplings of LA or SF which we have tried; however, as far as gyoza-​style dumplings go, these are some of the best I have every had.
Whether you live on the central coast or are visiting from out of town, Mt. Olive serves up a lunch that is not to be missed.

Wow! So nice to find organic, healthy, yummy food in Paso wine country. I loved the grass fed beef and mushroom sloppy joe on a homemade bun with whole grains in it and homemade tomato sauce. There’s a beautiful view and lots of tastings of olive oil, dressings, tapenades, etc. Try the persimmon walnut nougat for a sweet taste at the end.

Visited their store in Paso Robles. Perhaps they weren’t expecting any customers when I was there (I was the only one) because no one even came out… so it’s a good thing I didn’t want to buy anything.
I tried a couple of their olives and oils, but everything was just meh.
The store is large and they have lots of different products, but I didn’t spend much time there since the place didn’t feel welcoming.
I did visit their petting zoo… though the llamas (I think they were llamas) were too big to pet.

I had first came across Mt Olive products at the SLO Farmer’s Market last year and fell in love with their persimmon walnut nougat which I shared with my mom who also loved it. So on the way to SLO, I knew I needed to stop by to pick some up. With four packs safely in hand, we were about to check out but was distracted by their many fresh fruit juices that I’ve never tried like plum and pine needle??? Although I am all about trying new things, pine needle juice was a bit too exotic for me so I went with 1 plum and 1 pear. Because there is some sugar in the plum juice, it isn’t as tart as we thought and quite refreshing so I ended up going back in and getting 2 more frozen ones to go. They have tables outside that you can enjoy your purchases and/​or lunch which they also sell and the setup is beautiful just like a winery which they seemed to be flanked by.
Before we left, we also tried their olive oil, tapenade, olive, and sun dried tomato tastings and bought a bunch of early Xmas gifts to make baskets and finally the sunflower sprouts that a fellow Unilocaler raved about.
It is a beautiful place to stop for a break on the way to SLO.

I’m a little in love with these people– and so is my salad. I buy their perfect sprouts and greens mix every week at the farmers market, along with their fresh duck eggs, hand processed fruit snacks, and whatever else I can get my hands on.
Their salad dressings are divine, I’ve had two out of their line so far– and fully intend to work my way through them all. The Mt Olive tapenades have renewed my interest in olives, and muffeleta– and toast. Yesterday, I figured out that they allow visitors to their farm and visited for lunch, and their farm store.
The food was excellent. It’s amazing these days to find people truly making food from scratch– and they do, every laborious step of it. From scratch, from their farm. The results elevate the Pat Thai, Pot Stickers, and simple sandwiches into something divine. Not to mention its entirely organic, and non GMO.
I heart you Mt Olive.

Okay, so after I just lectured in my last review about cautioning us Unilocalers about giving only very high or very low reviews, I can’t believe that I am wriiting my third five star review in a row… but this place deserves five stars!!!
If you are going wine tasting in Paso Robles, it is the perfect place to go to break up your tour and shake it up a bit with olive oil and organic fruits and other tastings! You will drive about a mile or so off of the main road heading up to the lake on Adelaida Rd. It is on the left hand side and as you drive into beautiful grounds, it is well worth the short drive. They have a tasting room with all different olive oil, perserves, olive, etc, tastings…
My daughter had to go there ever since my mother in law had taken her there several years earlier. She had talked about the strawberry juice since she was a little girl and stocked up!
I bought the most amazing organic strawberry perserves you have ever tasted! And some Mother’s Day gifts that I had not purchased yet!
The gal at the counter was very informative and friendly and I definitely will be going back. You do need to check their hours because they are seasonal so before you make the drive out there, call or google them to make sure they are open. But they have this interesting organic immune tonic that I want to research!
All and all, it made my daughter so happy to go and get her juice, I couldn’t have had a better time sharing that experience with her! It was the cherry on top to my Mother’s Day!

This place carries all organic items that they grow and process themselves. Their olive products are very good and their juices are unique. They produce only enough items to sell every week so everything is always fresh.
We also had lunch while there and the Thai food is wonderful. We had Pad Thai, Thai chicken noodle soup, pot stickers and a veggie wrap. Everyone enjoyed their choices and I’m sure the freshness of the ingredients had a lot to do with how they tasted.
I highly recommend visiting this place. I will be back.

Like C.F. I too found Mt. Olive via a farmers market. I was traveling to Santa Barbara last November and stopped in to Paso Robles.
What a wonderful farm. Everything grown, produced and served in 100% organic.
I planned ahead and let them know I was bringing a group of 10 to have lunch. We ordered lunch then they gave us a mini tour of the farm and received great insight on all thing about organic farming.
When the tour was completed our lunch was ready. We ordered teriyaki chicken sandwich, jalapeño pizza, chicken salad, and chili.
Every dish was wonderful.
Their tasting room had samples of every item they offer. We stocked up on sauces, salad dressings, bruschetta, and olives.
This is a not to be missed place when in Paso Robles.

Meh. Nothing compelling about this place. My kids had fun chasing their rooster around, but the food and tastings were very par for a place you have to venture to.
Keep driving, nothing to see here.

They are at the downtown Thursday night and Avila Beach Friday night farmers markets-​which are my favorites to go to, and this is always the first booth I go to.
They have a variety of greens that are spicy or tangy or robust or hearty, and who doesn’t crave a diverse salad? I love the pine needle juice, and this is the only place I’ve ever seen it!
