Seeing more new birds and wild animals coming and residing in the estate is a sign of life returning home.

It’s the proof that what we do makes a difference.

By our estimate, we offset the carbon footprint of 2000 people. We increased the flora and fauna of the village of Sigri with numerous plants.

We proudly contribute to the ecosystem of the island of Lesvos

and the microclimate of Sigri. During the past years, and every time we have the opportunity, we plant new olive trees. By planting new trees, we protect the environment from desertification. With our support to nature, where it was once a dry place now there is life.

Hover or tap to explore

Our estate has many different native trees as well as many varieties from around the world. We have been planting new baby trees for the past 10 years and continue to do so. Our olive cultivars are a selective range of trees, each giving the olive oil a distinctive character. Adramytiani, Kolovi, Koroneiki, Kalamon, Chalkidikis, Mavroelia, Arbequina, FS17, Leccino, Aricombi, Picual, Melolia.

Part of what makes our cultivation so unique is that we enrich the terrain with Organic Posidonia seaweed compost. We cultivate traditionally (6m x 6m), so that each tree is fully nourished through the sun and ground. We harvest by vibration, a gentle method that spares the trees.

By cultivating Olive trees, having Certified Organic Plantations and caring for nature as a whole, our Faros Estate has become home to thousands of birds and animals, contributing to biodiversity and the ecosystem of the island of Lesvos.

All our products are tested in accredited labs to secure their quality and highlight all of their special characteristics. Top quality is our priority and we make sure what we give to people is true to label and 100% beneficial for their health.

Our human hub consists of a team of people in Greece (Athens, Lesvos & Thessaloniki) and the rest of the world, working together and building strong bonds by sharing the same vision. Our great products are backed by great work from wonderful people.

Technology and innovation are at the core of our business. We are continuously improving our operations, techniques and updating our know-how to serve the best products in the best possible way. We are future-forward, competing with world-class systems and universal standards.

The Ol-eve hand

Ol- means all, symbolizing the eternal connection between human and nature.

“Ol-eve” is Olive for the earth.

“Ol-eve” is Eve for the human.

A hand, touching the tree and its fruits, with respect and admiration to one of the greatest gifts given to humans: olive oil. The hand posture expresses the care of the farmer to the olive tree, in return for what it offers.
