McEvoy Outlet Sales Associate

McEvoy Ranch Outlet Sales Associate

McEvoy Ranch, the award-winning olive oil producer located in Petaluma, California, recently opened a warehouse outlet, selling discontinued and overstocked items. This location is in addition to its Tasting Room on Red Hill Road. The 400-square-foot warehouse outlet, located at 425 First St., was established based on the popularity of the Ranch store's annual warehouse sale. The outlet sells products up to 40% less than current stock pricing. The products featured in the outlet include:

• Olive Oil
• Wines
• Culinary Products
• Olive Oil Beauty Products
• Merchandise

Nestled in the Petaluma Gap region, McEvoy Ranch stems from the late Nan Tucker McEvoy's love of Italian culture. Today, the second and third generations of the McEvoy Family own the company and carry on the tradition that Mrs. McEvoy started over 30 years ago, by producing California's best organic extra virgin olive oil.

Located 30 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge in the rolling hills of Petaluma, McEvoy Ranch is a 550-acre working, organic Ranch committed to good land stewardship and sustainable farming practices. The Ranch is home to 57 acres of Tuscan olive trees nestled amongst natural ponds, hiking trails, coastal fog, and native wildlife.
