Olive Growers Euroa producing related products, from Olives grown in
Australia
The Goulburn Strathbogie Olive Growers Association (GSOGA) was established on 9th May 1999. GSOGA currently has about 80
members involved in growing, processing and marketing table olives, olive oil and olive products. Most GSOGA members are
small part-time grove owners, typically owning between 200 and 1000 trees. Their groves are within the general Goulburn
and Strathbogie region, covering centres such as Euroa, Terip, Molesworth, Yarck, Yea, Avenel, Seymour Mansfield, Eildon
and surrounding districts.
The GSOGA Committee is made up from Association members who are elected each year at the AGM. The GSOGA
Committee meets once a month to organise educational seminars, visits and practical sessions on grove management for members.
Recent seminars have focussed on pest management, making a profit from a small grove and sustainable grove management.
Members have visited groves to look at table and oil olive processing facilities and to watch pruning demonstrations and been
involved in learning how to taste and then describe the characteristics of olive oil and how to graft olive trees.
