Description

Introducing Sarah Vachon, the brainchild behind Citizens of Soil - the regenerative olive oil brand championing the farmers' who deserve a seat at the table - cold pressed extra virgin olive oil from small batch producers in Greece and Spain as well as rarer varieties from the likes of Italy, Portugal and Croatia. Full of polyphenols and powerful antioxidants, there's a reason why people in the Mediterranean live for so long. 

As one of the most faked products in the world, Citizens of Soil is an advocate for a more sustainable, transparent and ethical model of farming. And for Sarah, it was a chance to put principle into practice having worked at Provenance, the supply chain software company based on blockchain.

Founded in 2021, her and her husband Michael made light work of their growth - having started in DTC they are now stocked in prestigious retailers like Waitrose, Selfridges and Ocado. But their story goes far beyond the bottle. At their heart lies a deep commitment to investing in the land, fostering a culture that values soil health and the future of food. In a time of rising prices, Citizens of Soil offers a beacon of hope, demonstrating that a dedication to quality and ethical practices can flourish. 

Fresh from a significant £1.8 million investment, they're cultivating not just olives, but a powerful vision inspired by the rich mythology of the land. Tune in to be inspired by their journey and the stories that shape their exceptional brand.
