Our Story
Bridgeward Grove is a story of rural Australia, a long standing farming family combined with a long standing theatrical and arts family and what this truly means. Bridgeward Grove is a destination, which has been created by its custodians Peter and Julie Howard, who have lived on the property for the past 35 years. The love of the olive tree for their symbolism of peace and endurance became the catalyst for the beginning of Bridgeward Grove. Peter and Julie Howard were keen to uphold the offer of the olive branch as essential to their new enterprise and in so doing produce the well known nutritious qualities of the olive fruit.
As a five generational prime lamb and cereal growing farm this new enterprise needed to stand up to the on going drought prone country.
First move was to plant a variety of trees to see how they would survive. It was successful. Consequently in 1999 fifty Kalamata and twenty Barnea trees were planted with an irrigation system.
Peter and Julie heeded the recommendations of a feasibility study completed in the 1990s with the shires of Bendigo, Gannawarra and Loddon. This study compared the growing conditions of olive trees in Central Victoria with Toledo in Spain.
