Our Story

A family grove in the Oakland Hills

The Solo Farm sits on just over an acre in Grass Valley — one of Oakland's best-kept secrets, tucked between the Oakland Zoo and the 3,300 acres of Anthony Chabot Regional Park. It's a quiet, rural pocket in one of the Bay Area's most dynamic cities.

Our olive trees and persimmon grove thrive in the East Bay's Mediterranean microclimate: fog-tempered mornings, sun-drenched afternoons, and rich hillside soil. We press our olives within hours of harvest for a bright, peppery oil that captures the season.

Everything we grow is tended by hand, harvested at peak ripeness, and sold directly from our farm stand — no middlemen, no warehouses. Soil to table, as close as it gets.

Persimmons

Harvest: October – December

Heirloom Hachiya and Fuyu varieties, tree-ripened. Sweet Fuyus for eating fresh, silky Hachiyas for baking and the Japanese art of hoshigaki.
