Welcome to Vega1923!
Inspired by a shared dream
Vega1923 is a woman-owned, family-operated micro business. In 2021, we made a life-changing decision. Leaving behind our fast-paced corporate careers in Istanbul, we moved to the serene lands of Çanakkale to pursue a passion rooted in family, tradition, and a deep love for the soil. Together with our 13-year-old son, Demir, who helps between school and basketball, we are building a legacy I hope will span generations.
Vega1923 is more than a business— it’s about building a legacy
Named after the radiant star Vega, historically used as a standard for brightness, and the year "1923"—a tribute to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Republic of Türkiye, who empowered Turkish women by introducing equal rights in the 1920s—Vega1923 stands as a testament to female empowerment, leadership, and vision.
A truly unique land where nature meets history
75% of our team is women and their smile says it all – proud to be part of the Vega1923 journey, one olive at a time.
Equally essential to our mission is our commitment to the local community. Our family works actively alongside local workers, 75% of whom are women, during the harvest. Fair wages, promptly paid, honor their invaluable contributions, and we are committed to the highest ethical labor standards, always ensuring a child-labor-free environment.
The joy of a bountiful harvest! Emine from our team is soaking up the beauty of the 2024 season.
