A Glimpse into History

The Queen Creek Olive Mill began with Perry and Brenda Rea, along with their five children, sharing a dream of bringing the Arizona community the finest, locally-produced extra virgin olive oil.

From a modest farm shed to the magnificent establishment it is today, the Queen Creek Olive Mill has transformed into an Agritourism destination where award-winning extra virgin olive oil meets farm-to-table dining in the American southwest.
