The McCauley Family moved to Balfour Road in Brentwood, California in 1975. They grew an almond orchard and also had a chicken farm/egg business on the property while growing up. As the two brothers both enjoyed living on the property and enjoyed the country living, they are once again in the farming business together along with their family members.

Sean, his wife Maria and their three daughters, Marissa, Mallory and Michaela moved out to Deer Valley Road in Brentwood and planted an Olive Orchard in 2000.
They began to press their olives into Extra Virgin Olive Oil in 2003. Many ask “why Olive trees?”
The answer to this is: Olive trees do not require much water at all, so that allows the water from the rains each year to carry the trees through each season.
The Olive tree was also the McCauley’s choice as it is a beautiful tree and served the needs of the community by having a quality extra virgin olive oil product.

Soon after the McCauley’s planted their orchard many surrounding neighbors along Deer Valley Road and Briones Valley Road grew to wanting to be a part of this new beauty and growth for their land as well. There are now a total of 75 acres of Olive trees in this area with many more of the nearby land owners wanting to plant as well. In 2008 the McCauley’s decided to plant on the land they grew up on to enhance that land as well as to help meet the growing demand for Olive Oil that the McCauley Olive Oil business was facing.

While providing Olive oil for many of the local fruit stands, restaurants and stores there was still a high request for a country store where locals could purchase the
McCauley’s Olive oil and other locally grown products.
So in July of 2009 the McCauley’s opened “McCauley Olive Groves” on the property where they grew up and where Glen and his son Trenton live now.
The store not only offers a wide variety of flavored olive oils, balsamic vinegar,
local nuts, honey, gift baskets and many other items but they also have a
seasonal fruit stand open which carries fruits and vegetables from Lon’s Farm Stand.

This store has allowed the family to all take part in the business. The family all takes part in making this business a success. From tending the orchards to harvesting to bottling and running the store. It has been a wonderful experience for the McCauley family.

All of our olives are pressed locally, we use only local labor & provide locally grown products. We are happy to be a part of the Brentwood community and give back in the form of Brentwood Olive Oil.
