Business Owner
Having moved to the twin cities from Chicago mid 2008, Natalie found it difficult to find a job in the industry she knew best; real estate! With experience in a down industry and unemployment rates increasing, she knew it would be really hard to land her dream job, so she knew she had to make a job for herself, but what?! After months and months of soul searching, she decided she wanted to pursue her passion of food and cooking and open a retail store. A few months later, the Olive Grove opened and they have been pouring great tasting and healthy extra virgin olive oils and aged balsamic vinegars since.
