CERES Olives to Oil Festival 2023 - Brunswick East Olive Drop-Off

CERES Olives to Oil 2023 - a community harvesting program and festival event

Presented in partnership with Merri-Bek, Yarra and Darebin Councils, join us at CERES Brunswick East to celebrate with music, workshops, face-painting and more.

Tickets required for pressing of olives but the festival is free entry.

Have olives to be pressed into oil? - Book a time to bring your olives to CERES in Brunswick East on Sunday 21st May 12pm - 4pm

Tickets are free for residents of Merri-Bek, Yarra and Darebin, and $15 per booked delivery of olives for residents of other areas.

Join in the celebration on the day with live music, olive fruit identification and pruning advice sessions. Our mini olive press will be in operation for you to see the process from start to finish (demonstration only - your olives will be processed at Barfold Olives, Kyneton).

The first 50kg will be processed for you for free, and after that there will be a charge of $5. This is to help cover the costs of the program and ensure that we can welcome as many participants as possible.

CERES 3000acres will retain 10% of the total harvest to sell through our stores to support the running cost of the program.
