The auction kicks off in August of this year, and bids start at $2.19 million.<\/p>\n
A media release about the farm suggests it could be a lucrative opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter years of research showed the only climate in Canada mild and dry enough to support a commercial olive farm was in Salt Spring Island\u2019s Fulford Valley, Sheri Braun and her late husband George Braun looked for years in numerous locations before settling here, planted olive trees and set up a processing facility,\u201d CLHbid says.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Currently, the farm has 750 trees, which produce a \u201chighly-prized extra virgin olive oil.\u201d<\/p>\n
CLHbid says the olive oil is used by chefs across the country, and it retails at $625 per litre.<\/p>\n

The farm is also reasonably accessible, as it\u2019s located at the base of Mount Maxwell, which CLHbid says is five minutes from Fulford Harbour, \u201cfrom which BC Ferries makes eight sailings per day to the Swartz Bay ferry terminal near Victoria on Vancouver Island.\u201d<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also floatplane access.<\/p>\n
The farm is being sold because Braun is heading into retirement. The sale will take place on Aug. 12 during a one-hour bidding period on CLHbid.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to support Sheri as she looks to turn her dream project over to a new owner,\u201d said Roy Carter, CEO of CLHbid.com, in a statement. \u201cThe olive production is increasing annually as the trees mature and the property\u2019s plentiful irrigation and unused land provides additional opportunities to scale-up production.\u201d<\/p>\n
