ESSENTIAL COVID-19 PROVISIONS ON SITE AT PRESTON VALLEY GROVE FOR PROCESSING CUSTOMERS
With the current situation around Covid-19 and restrictions placed upon all of us, we are confident the Western Australian State Government will consider services to agriculture “essential” and hence remain open at this most critical of stages.
When you arrive at Preston Valley Grove, the process shed will be closed to the public. Please do not get out of your vehicle and enter the shed or wander around the process facility. This goes for olive drop off and oil pick up.
STAY IN YOUR VEHICLE we will come to you – please sound your horn on arrival or call the farm number – 9732 1097.
Please be assured we will be undertaking all health and welfare precautions in the handling of your olives and your oil. Arrangement for picking up your oil can be made with either Dave or Mick at the time of delivery of your fruit.
