ABOUT TUCKAWAY FARM
Tuckaway Farm is a small (ten-acre) farm in western Massachusetts, owned by Amy-Louise Pfeffer and Mike Sola. We import organic extra-virgin olive oil of premium quality from Umbria, in Central Italy, where we lived and produced olive oil from our own grove for four years.

We also produce and sell pasture-raised chicken and lamb, eggs locally, and--in years when we have a surplus--produce raised specifically for an Italian kitchen.


THE 2011 OLIVE OIL HARVEST
We received the 2011 harvest oil from Italy on January 17, 2012, most likely the first 2011 oil in the country. Eros Mercuriali, the miller whose organic oil we buy, tells us that the 2011 oil is "di primissima qualità," "of the absolutely highest quality." Once again, another good year for the great oil of "le colli orvietani," "the Orvieto hills.".
