We are pleased to highlight Terra Savia, one of our newest vendors at the market. Terra Savia is located in Hopland, CA, in the hills of Mendocino and Sonoma Counties. Currently, they are bringing their incredible extra virgin olive oil to MCM, as well as some olive oil-based beauty products, including soap, moisturizing cream, and hand salve (of which MCM’s Market Manager Emily is a huge fan!) Soon, they will be selling their wine at the market, so look out for Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Petit Verdot, and more.
Owner Jim Milone is a fourth generation Hopland winegrower, with over 30 years of experience on the land. His great-grandfather emigrated from Italy as a young man and operated the area’s first winery until the Prohibition Era, and the family has been there ever since. In addition to Terra Savia’s commitment to organic, sustainable practices to create their wine, olive oil and honey, they are also focused on stewardship of their land. For every acre of orchard that is planted for production, 1oo acres of open land is protected. As a result, the property is home to over 100o species of plants and animals. When you buy products from Terra Savia, your money is supporting both the local economy, as well as conservation and wildlife protection!
Come on down to MCM this week to taste some of their delicious olive oil varieties!
