Where there once was a deserted area,
there is now an oasis of biodiversity.
Our island estate is a habitat of thousands of birds and animals.
The brand-new Olive Mill and Bottling Facility, is now part of Faros Estate a private 200-hectare sea-front peninsula full of life, where we proudly cultivate 50.000 Olive Trees and 40.000 other trees, and we keep planting more.
We counterbalance the Carbon footprint created by 2000 people. We increased the flora and fauna of the village of Sigri with numerous plants. Seeing more new birds and wild animals coming and residing in the estate is a sign of life returning home. It’s the proof that what we do, makes a difference.
Ol-eve Sigri Olive Mill
We proudly contribute to the ecosystem of the island of Lesvos
and the microclimate of Sigri. During the past years, and every time we have the opportunity, we plant new olive trees. By planting new trees, we protect the environment from desertification. With our support to nature, where it was once a dry place now there is life.
Planting trees
Our estate has many different native trees as well as many varieties from around the world. We plant new baby trees over the past 10 years and continue to do so. Our Olive cultivars consist of a selective range of trees, each of them giving a distinctive characteristic to the olive oil. Adramytiani, Kolovi, Koroneiki, Kalamon, Chalkidikis, Mavroelia, Arbequina, FS17, Leccino, Aricombi, Picual, Melolia.
Seaweed compost
Part of what makes our cultivation so unique is that we enrich the terrain with Organic Posidonia seaweed compost. We cultivate traditionally (6m x 6m), so that each tree is fully nourished through the sun and ground. Our harvest method of vibration is the most tree friendly technique.
Biodiversity
By cultivating Olive trees, having Certified Organic Plantations and caring for nature as a whole, our Faros Estate has become home to thousands of birds and animals, contributing to biodiversity and the ecosystem of the island of Lesvos.

Our Olive Mill
From the growth of the tree & the olive, to the production, standardization, storage & promotion of the olive oil, we have streamlined the process. What makes Sigri Olive Mill unique is the linear production with predetermined parameters for production conditions depending on the Quality, Variety and Degree of ripeness of the olive.
