When I visited in October they had tons of pumpkins and fall items on display. Inside of the shop they have an assortment of honeys, and even offer honey tastings! They had many unique culinary items like flavored salts, spices, olive oils, etc. And they also had some beautiful chocolate truffles. I left with gifts for many of my loved ones and also some for myself. I wish I lived closer to this shop! I'd be in all of the time.

And they have some amazing sauces and other sundry items in there - I particularly like the barbecue sauces. They are definitely worth checking out a couple times a year no matter what.

We couldn't be happier with the outcome--for the bees and for us! (Tim's amazing photo of the hive is below.)

ALL of their olive oils and vinegars are delicious. Our all-time favorite salad dressing is their basil olive oil mixed with their white peach balsamic vinegar. The BEST!

The selection is truly impressive. There's an incredible variety of infused and fused olive oils as well as different vinegars, each more delicious than the last. What makes it even more special is knowing that many of these offerings are carefully curated by the wonderful owner, Ruth, in collaboration with local farmers. You can really taste the quality, care, and passion behind every product. Ruth herself is a highlight of the visit. She's friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the tasting both informative and genuinely fun. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she has a great way of guiding you through the options while sharing stories, pairing ideas, and plenty of laughs along the way. Between the gorgeous space, outstanding selection, and Ruth's exceptional hospitality, We Olive is an unforgettable experience in Paso Robles. We left with full hearts, happy taste buds, and bags full of goodies--we can't wait to come back!

Everything is well organized, so it's easy to find what you want without feeling overwhelmed. Staff were friendly and helpful, which made the visit even better.

If you're hungry you can grab a roasted ear of corn. There are many treats to grab and go. Jams, pies, fresh produce all in a charming environment. My only disappointment is there aren't any savory items to grab and go, which seems like a missed revenue opportunity. I was hoping to grab a sandwich cold or to go salad. If there was a small space dedicated for the customer looking for a quick healthy meal to go, I think it would be a welcome addition to an already wonderful spot.

The company breeds healthy, gentle queen bees that have mite-resistant behaviors. Starting in 2011, the company began selling queen bees that are locally adapted to the California Coast. The California Bee Company also strives to encourage small-scale beekeeping and was started in 2005 by two college students. The California Bee Company offers lots of bee-related services such as producing and packing their own honey, bee education, candles (which I own and love!) bee pollen, bee pollination, bee propolis, queen bees, and swarm removal. A company like California Bee is vitally important because bees need our help! Colony Collapse Disorder has led to the decline of honeybee populations across the world since 2006. This disease is likely caused by a combination of problems such as loss of habitat and urban sprawl, multiple pesticide exposure. and the stresses of certain industrial bee-keeping practices-where hives never rest and the bees experience stress and immune disorders. However, the California Bee Company uses enlightened methods of bee-keeping. They sell raw, unfiltered,unheated honey of the finest quality. Furthermore, their website notes that their bees are conscientiously cared for using strictly natural methods, and they have never used synthetic pesticides in bee hives. This company is practicing safe stewardship of bees and their excellent products reflect that fact. 5 YELP STARS

For those considering a visit: know that the road is steep and you should take a car. It's a tasting, not a full meal, and the focus is on quality and authenticity.

The drive into the farm was so beautiful with the rolling green hills. Our tour guide took us up to the farm where we got to hold some of the baby goats. That was one of my favorite parts of the tour. Then we learned how they milk the goats and got to see where perfection was made.... The cheese! After the cheese aging room we went into the tasting room. That was my second favorite part of the tour! I loved trying all the cheeses that are in season. I was also excited to join the cheese club. It's different signing up randomly vs learning about the cheese making process and all the hard work that goes into making it at the farm. That's what got me to sign up for the cheese club. It makes you more excited to join the cheese club when you're there in person. Plus I like the exclusivity factor of some of the special cheese and things I get to experience. If I could change anything it would be to spend more time with the goats. I love animals. I could have held my baby goat for hours. I almost wish they had a tour where you could just go hang out with the goats. And then I also heard a rumor that they used to have ice cream. I would love to try the ice cream produced at this farm!! But other than that I would definitely do this again! I can see my future charcuterie boards with the delicious @stepladdercreamery cheese all over my boards. And it's so exciting!
