We offer consultations on various aspects of olive orchard establishment and management, including planning, planting, pruning, fertilizing, watering and harvesting. We are available for on-site property evaluations and meetings at McEvoy Ranch, working on both large and small-scale projects. Phone consultations are also available when travel is prohibitive.

Samantha Dorsey has worked at McEvoy Ranch since 2001 and is now the Nursery and Vineyard Manager. She has consulted for olive orchards throughout California and into Oregon, south to Baja, Mexico and as far east as Texas. She conducts annual workshops at the ranch on olive tree care and has contributed to olive workshop panel discussions at UC Davis.
