The Trigono-Lamda Olive Groves are established groves which produce high quality olive oil. They are situated near Methoni, Pylos and Foinikounda in Messina on the Peloponnese.

Eacholive grove has it's own character, terrain and issues to be dealt with. Work is planned according to available finance. Setting out plans for the long and medium term and the Current Year enables us to keep focussed and maintain a continous wild habitat while improving access to the properties and harvesting olives.
