This year, I am organizing an Olive Harvest. We hope to experiment with Salt-Cured Olive Preservation. Donate Olives. Forage for local trees! If you have an olive tree, or know of a neighbor who does, please SHARE this mission and call on me.

To join the Olive Harvest, please send an email indicating your interest.
Thank you!
