McEvoy Ranch

I tried the sample of lavender olive oil body balm and instantly fell in love with it! The lavender balm actually smells like the real lavender plants (not the strong fake lavender smell) and they use minimal organic ingredients! I also love how it’s supporting a local business and made here in the bay. I saw two sizes 2oz ($ 16) and 4oz ($ 24) — I actually ended up buying both sizes so I could bring the small one on the plane. I use it everyday and keeps my hands feeling soft. Highly recommend it! The blood orange balm smells amazing as well.

I love going to the Ferry building and checking out the gourmet stores here. I got to learn about olive oil from the folks over here. Made me appreciate it a lot more. Great product and friendly helpful service.

Support local!
The products are great. Every time when I travel, I buy things from here as souvenir.
Not just a olive oil, but also lotion is great!

The 2014 bottling is superb! I served it over homemade tagliatelle for Christmas Eve dinner and it was excellent. It’s very assertive and spicey with a hint of artichokes. I pad $ 28 for a 12 oz. bottle and it is completely worth it. Locally grown and produced — doesn’t get any better than that!
The supply is limited so don’t delay in picking up a bottle or two.

I’ve been on the McEvoy Ranch garden tour in Petaluma and we bought some olive oil there. Glad that they have an outlet at the Ferry Market building as it can be hard to find, although I have found it at Whole Foods sometimes, and also at Draegers.
In addition to olive oil, the shop also has lovely lotions and organic soaps made from olive oil and essential oils. It’s quite pricey but a nice little luxury and also make for nice local gifts/​souvenirs.
if you can visit the ranch in Petaluma, I highly recommend it. They have garden walking tours from April to October.

The products are great, but their sales staff at the Ferry Building is awful. There was a sales girl surnamed «Michio» who would not even look up at us when we entered. We had lunch at Waterbar and walked to the Ferry Building specifically to buy some of their skin products at McEvoy Ranch (not their edible oils). No wonder their stand at the Ferry Building is always empty; perhaps senior management should review their staffing personnel at the Ferry Building. Will never go back again or buy any McEvoy Ranch products because of our experience. Will also let all of our friends know of this situation.

The blood orange scent is amazing, and I love that they use local California olive oil as the basis of all their products. A little pricey, but a nice treat or gift for someone.

Love their olive oil soaps! There is some kind of exfoliation bits in them so your skin gets buffet while it gets cleaned but it doesn’t get dried out. I got 3 for about $ 25, well worth it.

unlike other olive oils in the ferry building, this one gets a nod from the california olive oil council.
The states have long been a dumping ground for sub par evoo’s. Most American’s just don’t know, and get excited about heavily flavored oils from that other ferry building olive oil store — this oil needs no gimmics

The free sample of Humphrey Slocombe Olive Oil ice-​cream with a bite of lemon meyer cookie enticed me into McEvoy Rach.
I can never resist free samples.
Their abundance of fresh olive oil, and olive oil beauty products — kept me around.
McEvoy is a tiny little store in the Ferry Building that carries organic olive oil — made up in Northern California. Since I don’t really cook (not since Good Earth came into the picture) — I was more taken with their small but beautiful selection of olive oil based soaps, moisturizers and beauty balm.
A generous jar of rich vibrant smelling Lavender Olive Oil Balm seduced me. Though pricey — I loved the idea that it was made locally — and was over 92 percent comprised of natural and organic oils and scents. I bought it, and already can’t stop using it. It’s divine. I also purchased a bar of Olive Oil based Himalayan Cedarwood soap that’s made with the tiniest of granules, of what I imagine are Cedarwood, that help exfoliate the body.
I love helping support local and natural places like this. We put so many sub-​standard products into our body and toxic chemicals on and in our body — that I don’t mind paying extra for products that are made with time, love, and natural oils from the earth.
And come on — they sell Olive Oil Humprey Slocombe ice-​cream here and other decadent deliciousness.
Can’t beat that.
Trust.

2009 Olio Nuovo. I could literally drink it by the gallon…

The best olive oil you will find. I have been shopping here for about a year and swear by the quality and flavor. Bring in an empty and they fill your bottle, yummy and keeping it green.

This place sells organic olive oil, plants and veggies, along with some expensive tchotchkes for your kitchen. In all of the many months I’ve been coming to the Ferry Building, I’ve rarely seen more than 1 – 2 customers there EVER! Poor McEvoy…
The other day, I needed some olive oil, so I decided to give them my business cuz they look so sad and lonely. Lo and behold, the olive oil that they sold me was actually quite tasty, albeit $ 22 for a small bottle.
Please support these guys so they don’t shrivel and die!!!
P. S. If you are a zipcar member, you can get 20% off your purchase if you show them your card.

I didn’t get the oil but I got a jar of honey. it was delicious. Better than the stuff at the grocery store. I eat it with cheese and on bread. Yumm

Like most of the businesses at the Ferry Building, I found McEvoy Ranch to be high quality, pricey but also having a local provenance. I loved the map of SF and surroundings where they’ve marked out their estate and their mill for producing the olive oil.
Based on Italian varieties, the olive oil produced is light, sweet and grassy. They do add it to various other ingredients to produce other dipping sauces but I love their extra virgin variety on its own.
All their products are out for tasting and you can’t help but be impressed if you try them.

I would give them 5 stars if I could get one of their olive tree’s on the plane back home…
They have a really good high quality product. I after being addicted to their product and purchasing it regularly at the Cowgirl creamery in Washington DC. I was really excited to go to the «official» store in the Ferry Building. It also made perfect sense to me when I saw the are located directly across the hall from Cowgirl.
Bottom line — they make a good quality fairly priced olive oil that is super versatile. I dig um…

Olive Oil. It’s like wine. You know when you get a good one.
McEvoy is a good one. I’m no conosieur of olive oils — or wine truth be told, but like art, I know what I like.
McEvoy is made in Northern California up by Point Reyes and it’s beautiful (both in flavor and the place they create it). You really get the flavor of the olive, light and delicately. It’s excellent dipping fare.
They give tours out at the ranch as well, you will see their gorgeous property and learn how the airrate the water to get their olives just perfect for the harvest.
Another tip they’ll pass on is to leave it in the pretty packaging, this will keep your oil out of the sunlight and so keep it tasting crisp longer.
Don’t pass up their nook at the Ferry Building, get yourself a bottle and know that you’ve done the right thing.
p. s. stop at Acme bread and you got yourself a meal!
