Ontario - Graber House

Graber Olive House is a very special shop in Ontario, California that makes and sells olive related products. The Graber's family bought the land back in 1892 and began making cured olives. It was the oldest existing business in Ontario. Graber Olive House is near downtown Ontario and has a gift shop and factory where raw olives are processed and eventually being made into cans of cured olives.


The Tour
The free guided tour shows the history of Graber Olive House, the Graber's Family and all the different machines used to process the olives. There are many unique machines such as this one which is used to make sure the olives to be processed are of simiar size and quality. Most machines there are older than me. During peak season the public is invited to see how they actually operates the machines.

At the gift shop you can find the products made by Graber such as olive oil, olives and dates. There are also gift baskets available.
