FAQs
HOW CAN I/DO I BECOME A CROWDFARMER?
To sponsor an olive tree sapling, you only need to register on the BioGrove platform and follow the purchasing instructions. As you commit to a participatory system, you will receive in return for each olive tree sapling sponsored your harvest of supreme quality organic extra virgin olive oil. On 1st January of each year, you will be given the right to renew your sponsorship. Your continued commitment helps to create a balance between supply and demand.
WHEN CAN I BECOME A CROWDFARMER?
After registering on our BioGrove platform you will be asked to pay the amount corresponding to the number of sponsored olive trees. A CrowdFarmer certificate will immediately be sent to your e-mail address, as per your registration. From that moment on, you are a CrowdFarmer. The CrowdFarmer title will allow you to actively partake in the production process.
CAN I GIFT A CROWDFARMER TITLE TO SOMEONE?
Gifting a CrowdFarmer title is a wonderful and most original present! By gifting a sponsorship to your loved ones, you share your passion for olive trees and your commitment to the CrowdFarming concept. In this case, the registered member and the recipient of the harvest can be two different people. The proof of payment and all other related matters will obviously be sent to the registered e-mail address of the applicant and not the recipient of the gift.
HOW IS THE FINAL PRICE SET?
The final price reflects the costs linked to sponsorships. Your payment will allow the Farmer to cover the production costs, and the proper working conditions under our organic production charter. Furthermore, your sponsorship covers the costs linked to the preparation and transport of the harvest to your selected address. All costs to the final destination except the Swiss post delivery fees are included. (administrative, logistics and taxation).
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY HARVEST?
When the order has been confirmed and paid, no more steps are necessary to receive the sponsored olive oil. You will then receive your harvest at the provided address. The olive tree production cycle starts every year in October. The approximate date will appear at the time of the order. A personalised update about the production process will be communicated to all our CrowdFarmers through BIOGROVE newsletters. Our concern related to environmental challenges underpins our promise to find the most efficient and quick transport. Delivery will find place at the chosen delivery address.
