Our Story

A Heritage of Love, Care & Community

The Story Behind the Gals

Known around town as "The Olive Tree Gals," Christie, Dawn, and Tracy created Under the Olive Tree with a single, heartfelt purpose: to build a place where community, flavor, and family meet. But if you trace the roots of our shop back to the beginning, you'll find the true soul of our story: our moms. While two now watch over us from above and one continues to bless us and inspire us every day, their collective spirit is woven into every single corner of Under the Olive Tree.

They have always been our organizers, community anchors, and absolute forces of nature. True planners at heart, they turned vision into reality, filling our homes with open doors, unconditional support, and incredible home-cooked food. Whenever life presented a challenge, they didn't just offer a helping hand, they drew up the blueprints to guide us through it.

Above all, they taught us that food brings people together, that hospitality is an art form, and that love is best shared around a table. Today, we carry their lessons, their warmth, and their legacy forward, honoring them with every bottle we pour and every guest we welcome.

We built this store to honor their enduring legacy. In every carefully selected bottle of Olive oil, every aged Balsamic, and every warm smile that greets you at our historic downtown shop, we strive to share the same care, devotion, and hospitality they gave to us.

We created this space for you to gather, sip, savor, and celebrate life's everyday moments. Step under our branches and feel right at home.
