Watercress Creek Olives and Limes
Our Range
Watercress Creek Olives and Limes was born of a long farming history. The Pine Mountain property, owned by Bernard and Lorraine Mahon, began as a dairy farm settled in 1862.
John and Mary Mahon came to Australia from Ireland on the Maryborough and settled in Pine Mountain. The dairy farm produced vegetables and eggs, aided by the land army in the Second World War and sold produce locally and throughout Brisbane.
In 1998, as fourth generation farmers in Pine Mountain, Bernard and Lorraine Mahon began farming olives. The property now grows three different varieties of olives with over 1,000 olive trees. In 2006, Bernard and Lorraine diversified and added 800 Tahitian Lime trees. They now produce olive products, lime cordial, spreads and jams much more. They also proudly host an annual Watercress Creek Olive Festival. The 21st annual Watercress Creek Olive Festival will be held on April 11th 2027.
