Filtering Oregon Olive Mill Oil at Red Ridge Farms

Watch as Paul Durant and his daughter Olivia walk you through the olive oil filtration process. Red Ridge Farms is owned by the Durant family and is a unique destination in Oregon's Willamette Valley with a nursery and garden shop, the Oregon Olive Mill, Durant Vineyards and lodging accomodations. A founder in the Oregon wine industry, the Durant Family have focused on producing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris fruit for some of the premier wineries in Oregon since 1973. In 2003, they began to craft small lots of estate fruit under the Durant Vineyards label. Continuing to lead the way in agricultural ventures, the Durants opened Red Ridge Farms in 2001, a herb and specialty plant nursery, and have planted one of the largest olive groves in Oregon. With the first, and to date only, commercial olive mill in Oregon, they are able to handcraft signature olive oils with their own distinctive aromas and flavor. The Oregon Olive Mill also houses an event space with a patio overlooking the Willamette Valley used for corporate and private events. Two lodging accommodations are available for guests at Red Ridge Farms, a one bedroom guest suite overlooking the valley and the two bedroom Stoneycrest cottage, which overlooks Durant Vineyards.
