by: Queen Creek Olive Mill

Judy Wales Gillum grew up in the town her Grandfather, Leo Ellsworth helped to found, and develop into the great town we call Queen Creek.

Judy’s family has been active in the area since the early 1920′s, eventually moving here from Mesa in the early 1940′s.  As legend has it, Mrs. Mary Ellsworth refused to move to Queen Creek because there was no telephone service. To remedy this, Leo Ellsworth ran 28 miles of phone line to make the move happen.

Leo Ellsworth made his name nationally as a world class Farmer, and also as a land developer. At one point in his illustrious career, he made his way to Georgia and Florida to turn swamp land into feed pastures. He also found a way to get his farmed goods from Arizona to market on the East Coast… 3 weeks ahead of the competition.

Following her grandfathers commitment to excellence, Judy has developed a passion for everything she does, including crafting fine wines, which we proudly carry at the Queen Creek Olive Mill.

Queen Creek Olive Mill

At the base of the San Tan Mountains in Queen Creek’s storied farm community the Queen Creek Olive Mill is Arizona’s only working olive farm & mill. While we produce a boutique hand-crafted extra virgin olive oil using 9 varieties of olives, our passion is creating a great experience for our guests.

The gourmet marketplace is a treasure of local foods, unique gifts and farm-casual dining. Stroll the olive grove, tour the mill and get away from pre-packaged, cellophane city life for the day.
