Buy An Olive Farm For Christmas: Graber Olives Property At $3 Million

ONTARIO, CA—In a quiet Rosewood Community in Ontario, the historic grove and warehouse of the former Graber Olive Company sits waiting for its next owner.

The property at 315 E. 4th Street, built in 1894, recently went up for commercial sale for $3 million. It includes three adjacent parcels of land, six buildings, including the warehouse and a store/museum, outdoor bathroom locations, and groves considered "undeveloped land," realtor Josephine Taylor writes.

The Clifford C. Graber House, located at 301 E. 4th Street, is currently not for sale. At the family's request, in front of the city council, the olive company was named the eighth historical district in Ontario.

The historic olive company is situated along East 4th Street on the south and between North Columbia Avenue and East Harvard Place. On-site sits a storefront, a warehouse, and numerous outbuildings, each with its own history.

For 180 years, the Graber family grew and canned their tree-ripened olives, sold and shipped in holiday boxes across the country.

Graber olives were "snacked on" at the Augusta National Golf Club and heralded by Jimmy Fallon and the Travel Channel, who ran a "Ghost Adventures" feature on the property.

After a brief boon due to the publicity, the familiar label quietly faded from view in 2023 when the doors closed due to a year of poor olive production, according to the realtor.

The property never recovered from the COVID-19 shutdown, she said.

"The family would love a partner or someone to continue the Graber Olive brand but understand the property may be developed," Taylor said.

The Olive Company does have "a good clientele," and the facility is "walk-in ready to go."

"The olives produced here with their equipment and their recipe are unlike any other in production today," she said. "If you took the time to tour and evaluate this company’s potential, I think you would agree that it has potential and may be a great fit for your investment portfolio."

With so much history, it would be remiss not to mention that the famed Graber olives have income potential, customer bases, and event rentals of the rustic space.

"Beyond the fact that it oozes with ambiance and history, it is well situated for events, a restaurant, and currently has a small museum and gift shop on the property," she said, adding that before the website was shut down, online sales would generate $75,000 to $150,000 per month, including 70 years of sales to Augusta National Golf Club.
