We took a road trip to Oliver Farm, down in Pitts, GA - where we were able to visit their sunflower fields and “oil shack” - as they call it. It was amazing to see all of the beautiful sunflowers that were in full bloom and to also see how Clay and his wife, Valerie, make all of their amazing oils. Oliver Farm was formed several years ago when fuel prices soared and the American economy faltered. There was a lot of talk about alternative fuel sources, and that sparked an interest in an area that Clay knew very little about; however, he began researching, visiting oil plants, and talking to individuals in this field. During this time Clay discovered the cold pressed method of oil extraction which does not use chemicals or high temperatures to remove the oil. This process leaves valuable vitamins and nutrients in the oil. In 2012, Clay grew his first crop of sunflowers for oil production, and by the end of 2012, he had pressed oil from sunflowers, pecans, and peanuts - all grown in Wilcox County, GA. More oils followed, and Oliver Farm Artisan Oils quickly caught the attention of chefs and foodies. Now, Oliver Farm Artisan Oils are used and sold all over various locations, including The Bread Beckers, Inc., in Woodstock, GA. Today’s episode is going to be a little different and longer than normal. As a podcast, this episode is presented as an audio recording of our trip. In addition, we have also released a  video recording of our trip as well! Watch  this video over on our YouTube Channel. There, you’ll get to see the sunflower fields and the actual process that Oliver Farm uses for making all of the delicious oils that they sell.

22: A Day at Oliver Farm, with Clay and Valerie Oliver

Clay Oliver

Forget olive oil. Clay Oliver is cold-pressing some of the most exciting new oils – and he’s doing it in an unlikely place: rural Georgia. You can roughly place The Oliver Farm on a map by dropping a pin halfway between Atlanta and Jacksonville, FL. As Clay puts it, “The oil business came about from an idea several years ago when fuel prices soared and the American economy faltered. There was a lot of talk about alternative fuel sources. That sparked an interest in an area that I knew very little about. I began researching, visiting oil plants, and talking to individuals in this field. My initial thought was to make my own fuel. The equipment needed to extract oil is expensive, and the savings on fuel would not pay for the equipment for many years. I was fortunate enough to meet a couple of people who influenced me to consider growing, processing, and selling food grade oil. So, in 2012, I grew my first crop of sunflowers for oil production.” Kat sits down with Clay to talk about the role that chefs Steven Satterfield and Sean Brock played in bringing his oils to a level of recognition he never expected. Satterfield is particularly fond of the peanut oil, which he said tasted “green.” It is now officially known as green peanut oil. Clay also shares the newest oil he’s working on, okra seed oil, and discusses the challenges with finding enough okra to meet the demand!
