Hi Richard,
Amie and I just wanted to follow up with you after the wonderful experience we had yesterday.
You and your business are a rare find these days. Your passion for olive farming and olive oil in general is infectious and joyous. As a human being you are just delightful and you and your wife's story are worthy of anyone's attention. You bought your experiences and journey to life for us in a way that tells it's own compelling story.
We enjoyed every minute of it.
We also enjoyed immensely everything you shared about your product, the smells, the flavor and combinations. All of the tastings were beyond what we expected and your olive oils and vinegars are deserving of the many excellent awards you have won.
Amie and I will promote you to anyone who will listen. We will stay in touch and will make every effort to be a part of your harvest next year. Please take care, continue your passion for this rare, healthy phenol laden product you clearly love and we will hopefully meet again.
We wish you happy holidays, health, wealth and good fortune.
Mark and Amie.

This morning, my co-worker Yvette and I went for a tour and tasting at San Miguel Olive Farm with Richard Meisler (owner). San Miguel Olive Farm has received MANY awards since they began making olive oil in 2012. Recently they were voted #4 in the US #9 in the NorthernHemisphere, and #10in WORLD!!! They have only 1200 olive treeson 10 acres.
But they focus on top quality ( growing, pruning, production), and we learned it all has to do with sensory (aroma, taste, and finish) and chemistry (i.e., polyphenolsand free fatty acids). What an amazing experience.

Dear Richard and Myrna,
I was one of your guests last Saturday for an amazing lesson in your olive oil production. This note is almost the first thing I am doing now back from our trip. I just wanted to thank you for the demonstration and information and the enthusiasm that you imparted while teaching/ bragging about your olive oil. It was such a treat to taste, smell and enjoy your products. You have a fan in me and one with deep appreciation for everything, start to finish. I will savor your oil and the wonderful memory. Maybe we’ll be back with more of my kids. You are well worth it!
Blessings,
Marijo

Greetings to you,
Received olive oil today and tried the nectar one and put on my salad. Also used the vinegar which is delicious. Excited to experiment with olive oil on popcorn, and other things.
Thanks again for thorough explanations! Will keep you posted.
Take care

If you’re looking for high quality olive oils look no further, Richard and his lovely wife grow and produce some of the best olive oils in California!!!! Their olive oils have won numerous awards and rightfully so! The quality and taste are some of the best I’ve tasted here in USA. Richard was so kind in letting me have clippings of his olive tree branches! The leaves will be used to make herbal olive leaf teas!
Thank You Richard for your kindness and hard work!
On a road trip with a couple of days in Paso Robles, CA, an area known for abundant vineyards and wine tasting, my friend and I decided to mix it up by visiting San Miguel Olive Farm. This tour was the highlight of my time in Paso Robles.
Lucky for us, we were able to book a tour on short notice (about a week prior) on the day that worked for our schedule. I could immediately tell how warm Richard, the owner, was on the phone. A true gentleman.
Upon arriving at the front gate, we were greeted by Richard, who then escorted us to a big tree on the hill overlooking the picturesque farm. Sitting shaded under the tree with his sweet dog nearby, we listened intently, while he shared how he started the farm and his lessons learned over the years. We then walked to the olive trees and learned how the trees are maintained and how olives are harvested for optimal quality. Double lucky for us, we were the only ones on this weekday tour, so we were able to get a ride on his tractor around the farm.
After the farm tour, we retreated to the outdoor patio for olive oil tastings and met his sweet wife. We learned how to smell and taste his award-winning olive oils by swirling the oil, sniffing with each nostril, and then paying attention to how the oil tastes on the tongue and throat. He also shared over 15+ different flavored balsamic vinegars (some still in tiny sample bottles) for us to choose which we wanted to taste and learned how they complemented the olive oils. And Richard patiently fielded all our questions during the entire tour.
There's no pressure to buy, but I don't know why anyone wouldn't purchase some excellent quality finishing olive oil and balsamic vinegar from him. Plus, one would be supporting a small local farm business. It's a WIN-WIN.
Note: This visit was done during the pandemic. I felt safe as he asked in the beginning of the tour about mask use, and we were outside the entire time. I'm positive Richard would accommodate if you didn't feel comfortable with anything. Also, they are in the very early stages of building a separate tasting room, but the tastings done in the outdoor patio were perfect for us during the pandemic.

Richard Meisler (owner) greeted out group of 6 at the farm entrance and escorted us up to the farm. A very casual, relaxed atmosphere sitting under a shade tree as Richard started explaining about the tour and basic information on olive farming. This was truly a one-on-one type experience and we all treated as if we had know Richard for years.
After the olive farm tour, Richard invited to his home located on the farm grounds. His wife Myrna greeted us upon arrival. We then sat on the outdoor covered patio as Richard personally served us his various olive oils, explaining the differences, then tasting with provided sour dough bread pieces. No pressure or sales pitches to purchase anything.
In this hustle and bustle world, the whole experience at San Miguel Olive Farm was casual and slow paced. The hospitality is something many places should take note of. The olive oils we tasted were the best, and we gladly bought a variety to enjoy at home.
Thank you Richard and Myrna for your hospitality and for the best olive oil on the planet!
Word
I remember my first taste of your EVOO at Paso Robles in 2012. I was there with a brand we were trying to develop. We met and you had one last bottle and I bought it. LOL...epic. To this day when i host tastings I always tell folks you have the best EVOO in the country. Much love!

Wonderful Visit!
While dropping my daughter off at SLO, we decided to explore more of the extended area. We bought some olive oil from Richard, and he then welcomed us to tour his farm. Not only did we learn how San Miguel Olive Farm started and how the olives are grown and maintained, but we also were able to get to know a little about Richard...what a wonderful person! He made us feel at home in spite of 114 degree weather. He even sent us home with some clippings to try and grow our own tree in our back yard.
~Juan, Tripadvisor, September 2020
Incredible Olive Farm Tour
“We were visiting SLO county and decided to look for something fun to do in the area besides wine taste.
Although San Miguel was almost an hour away, we found an Olive Farm Tour on yelp and TripAdvisor. An award winning farm that produced organic olive oil.
We called last minute and they happened to have a spot open for 2:30pm. 🎉
Otherwise we could have visited the Allegretto Vineyard Resort in Paso Robles where Richard, the owner, hosts his olive oil tastings a few times per week.
We drove out to meet with Richard who met us at his gate. He had us follow him up to his property, sat us down and told us the story of how he started his olive farm and everything he learned along the way.
He then took us on his small off-road tractor to cruise through the field of olive trees and explained, in detail, how they grow, preserve and harvest the olives.
Then he took us up to his home where we met his wife Myrna and she had set up a tasting for us to try the olive oil + flavored vinegars with bread. It was delightful.
We shared personal stories, talked food, were given recipes and ended up buying a couple of bottles of oil and vinegar.
It was so much fun and honestly really impressive!!!
We highly recommend this because it was super special and because it’s so intimate, they can only host so many people.
Thanks Richard and Myrna!!”

“Complement the Wine Tours with an Olive Oil Tour”
“Stopped by to have a tour from Richard and Myrna. Had a wonderful three-hour visit learning all about the olives, the process to make oil, Richard's background (great story!), and then a full-on tasting of the different types of olive oil (and vinegar that they import from Italy). And yes we definitely bought some to take home - no hard ball selling tactics at all but I would have felt uncomfortable if we hadn't bought something. Richard literally squeezed us on his cart and drove us into the fields, pointing out the growing dynamics, which trees are 'fruitful' and which aren't, and the challenges inherent in what he does. This was such a great experience all around and highly recommend it.”
-JerVerb Tripadvisor August 2020
Love this olive oil (organic) and were in the area and toured the farm. Great experience to learn how olive oil makes it to our shelf in an organic manner as well spending time on the porch of of the owner's house tasting and learning about the history of the region. Highly recommend, esp. if you enjoy farm-to-table type of experiences.

Amazing Tour - Kids love it!!! - Review of San Miguel Olive Farm
It all started with Richard waiting at the gates to receive us and Myrna leading us with the direction for the last 1 mile. I would say Richard led an amazing tour of the olive farm. Under the shadow of a large tree, he described the history of his olive farm, the intense work required to maintain olive farms, and all of the challenges he had to overcome. Then had to do a ride around the farm .. some of it thrilling and finally finished with the taste of all his hard worked Olive. Our kids also had some good time with the horse. Looking forward to be back during harvest.

Richard and Myrna, We just cracked the bottle of Tuscan Gold this last weekend. We added a spritz of your Blackberry Vinaigrette and sopped it up with crusty bread. You've produced Heaven in a bottle. The flavor is unlike anything you can buy in a store. It's obviously a labor of love. Thank you, we look forward to buying again.
~Chuck and Denise Mechanicsville, MD. July 2019
We just got home today from our cabin in northern MN in time to watch the game and were pleasantly surprised to find a package in our mailbox. Thank you very much for sending us the oils from the fall harvest. It will be enjoyed for sure especially knowing we did a little part to make it happen. It was very generous of you to send two bottles, I'm sure we didn't pick enough olives to fill 2 bottles! but much appreciated. Thanks again and hope you have a good season!
~Dan and Jan, Minnesota, February 2019
"You probably think we’re drinking it! …. But actually we’re keeping some on hand at all times for special gifts like thank you gifts or host gifts. As we give a couple away, we’re replacing them to always have some ready. It’s so perfect! I mean, not everyone drinks wine, and flowers die quickly. Your olive oil is a gift I feel really good about giving, and people are so happy to receive it!"
~ Tracie, November 2018
"Hi, Richard. Back in MN now with snow on the ground this morning if you can believe it. We both thoroughly enjoyed the little bit of help on your harvest. Never have we done anything like that before so we really appreciate you giving us the opportunity! Also, thanks for the pictures, especially the one of Jan. Can't believe how full the crate is in your picture, looks like a healthy crop. And yes, we will put some comments out on line, I understand marketing and know it helps! Thanks again."
~ Dan and Jan, Minnesota, November 2018
"Thanks again for a wonderful visit to your olive farm and you house. It was certainly one of the highlights of our visit to America so far. As promised, I send you some photos of that day. I wish you guys all the best and hopefully we'll meet again soon."

"We tried your olive oil in several ways now, and found it to be darn tasty (although I’m not quite sure “tasty” is a valid olive oil word). We don’t know all the sophisticated terminology (like the wine words) that is supposed to be used when referring to olive oil, but tasty seems like a good one to me. One of the little treats we make as an appetizer is simple. Fresh basil leaves, a couple of slices of tomato, a little glob of burrata cheese, then drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar and top off with a pinch or two of sea salt. Try it next time you have some fresh basil and burrata around."

"I received my delivery of San Miguel Olive Oil yesterday, and was at first most impressed with the presentation. The little gold bag is a splendid touch, most appropriate, and brought a smile to my face. I opened it right away as I was very excited to experience the oil’s aroma and the taste you were able to achieve at the San Miguel Olive Farm. I was not disappointed! It is a brilliant product. I loved my freshly baked bread dipped in it and I loved my fresh vegetables sautéed in it. Bravo!"

"This is the best olive oil we have ever tasted! Delightfully grassy and peppery on the nose and palate. Smooth texture. Complex and harmonious! Superb on a green salad and with fresh artisan bread."

"We received your olive oil and we believe it's about the best we've ever had. And we've been around. But besides your wonderful oil, we were pleased with the little gifts that you sent. The colorful velvet sacks that the bottles were in are very nice--a nice touch. You made a nice impression on us and we'll
spread the word."

"My friend says I compare almost everything to music. Your olive oil is like music. A high note, a middle note, and a bass note for support. It is like a concerto -- superbly well-balanced.
