Yalla-y-poora Grove
Yalla-y-poora Grove is a boutique olive grove in Newbridge, Victoria, located 35 km west of Bendigo and 180 km northwest of Melbourne. They produce 100% Demeter Certified Bio-Dynamic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) from over 2,700 olive trees. Established in 2001, they received Demeter certification in 2005, which is a standard for biodynamic farming that focuses on soil health, biodiversity, and natural growing methods. Their process, from tree management to bottling, is done on-site. They practice bio-dynamic farming, which involves composting and crop rotation to enhance ecological balance. The grove’s name, meaning “a group of small trees” in the Dja Dja Wurrung language, reflects their approach. They offer EVOO in various sizes, including single-varietal and blended options.
