About Smyrna Farms
Smyrna Farms was started by Gulay Akkus Nart and Umit Sonmez. We are two people who are passionate about Turkish food culture and heritage. We have traveled the world in our previous corporate business lives and our Turkish food heritage has brought friends and family to the table as well as people we have just met.
We are both from Izmir, Turkey. Our company is named after the ancient Greek name of our city Izmir (Smyrna). Our family has a long history of farming and growing olives. This is a lifestyle more than anything and we can’t think of a world without olives. For us an olive is never just an olive. it is the soil, the climate, the terrain, the history, the culture and the people. We want to tell the story of our country and our people through this miracle fruit.
