Nestled in the Maltese countryside near Rabat, Barba Kieli offers you the opportunity to adopt your very own olive tree and become part of a living Mediterranean tradition.
Whether you live in Malta or overseas, tree adoption allows you to contribute directly to sustainable agriculture, environmental stewardship, and the preservation of local rural heritage.
By adopting a tree, you help us care for the grove while enjoying a unique connection with the land and the changing seasons of your tree.
Your adoption includes:
✅ Personalised tree identification
✅ Digital Certificate of Adoption
✅ Tree photographs and updates
✅ Sustainable year-round care
✅ Up to 500g of olives from your tree, subject to harvest conditions
✅ Delivery within Malta and Gozo
Not everyone has the space or opportunity to grow a tree.
Through the Barba Kieli Adoption Programme, you can actively support sustainable farming while participating in the life of an authentic olive grove.
Your adoption contributes to:
Sustainable cultivation practices
Preservation of the Maltese countryside
Biodiversity and pollinator habitats

Explore our groves:
A mature grove benefiting from traditional Maltese agricultural practices.
A developing grove focused on sustainable long-term cultivation.
Olive trees become stronger and more established with each passing year.
Many adopters choose to renew annually and continue following their tree's progress as it grows and matures.
Should an adoption not be renewed, the tree may become available for adoption by another participant.
Although olive trees are resilient, nature can sometimes be unpredictable.
If an adopted tree is lost due to circumstances beyond our control, Barba Kieli will replace it with another tree so that your participation in the programme can continue uninterrupted.
Malta's Mediterranean climate, fertile valleys and centuries-old farming traditions make it an ideal environment for olive cultivation.
At Barba Kieli, we are proud to contribute to this heritage by cultivating olives using sustainable practices while creating meaningful connections between people and the land.
