Who We Are
The Johnson family live on a farm in the Obi Obi Valley. Their aim has been to have two hundred acres of productive farmland. After planting fifty acres of hardwood timbers on the back hills of the property, they planted one thousand olive trees. While waiting for these to mature, they also planted five hundred camellia senesis trees for green tea. Some fifteen years later, the Johnsons have had their fifth successful olive season picking and crushing all through March. The olives are processed on the farm.
Obi Obi Olive Green Tea was the first of the teas produced by Alexina. In the middle of last year, a solar drier was built so that the tea production side of the business could expand. This drier is efficient because of the use of direct sunlight as well as the electricity from the solar panels on the near-by olive processing shed. This electricity powers the overhead fans and exhaust fans.
Alpacas were originally acquired to help keep down the weeds in the olive grove and to supply manure for the olives and tea bushes. However their wool is now being hand spun and has become the third product under the Obi Obi Essentials label.
The family's philosophy has always been to produce quality produce with on-farm processing. The use of simple processes on the farm adds value to the quality products with strong emphasis on clean and green all through the chain of production.
