Six years after the company first set up shop in California, Boundary Bend has planted the second-largest medium-density olive grove in the United States.
“We have just planted two groves of 450 and 350 acres (180 and 140 hectares),” Paul Riordan, the company’s co-founder, told Olive Oil Times.
Studies have shown that the productions of a medium-density grove over a 30-year life cycle are higher and more sustainable than high density.
