About Us

 

In 1892, C.C. Graber purchased land in Ontario, California and discovered olives, as cured by the early ranchers, to be one of the finest food delicacies of California.

After much research and study of their methods, Mr. Graber cured several barrels himself.

The following season, a much greater quantity of his olives were demanded by neighbors and friends who had eaten from the original barrels.

Thus began Ontario's oldest existing business. Since 1894, Graber Olives -- fully tree-ripened with delicate, rich flavor and succulent texture have been enjoyed by generations of families throughout the world.

Due to recent setbacks and challenges these past couple of years, we haven’t been able to produce our canned olives. We plan on producing Graber Olives again as soon as possible, bringing back our tree-ripened olives and gift products that so many have cherished.

Every item you purchase helps generate vital income to keep our operations alive and fight off foreclosure. Together, we can ensure that the Graber Olive House continues to thrive as a symbol of California's agricultural heritage. 



With Gratitude,  
The Graber Family
