We collected 240kg of olives from our land over the past couple of days. Today came the exciting part when we took them down to the local mill.
Here they do the first press of the olives and in return we receive back our very own oil. 40 litres of thick, dark green extra virgin olive oil. No money changes hands. Olives for oil.
"On Decatur Street, Central Grocery and Deli's storefront has remained dark since 2021, when Hurricane Ida smashed a brick wall through the roof of the circa-1906 shop. At the neighboring liquor shop that now distributes its famed muffulettas, vendors were hawking the cured-meat and olive salad sandwich on Tuesday as a perfect hurricane snack—one that doesn't require refrigeration."
Apparently, I have Koroneiki #olives - not good for brining but great for olive oil.
I don’t think I am set up for pressing.

In 2023 #OliveOil bulk prices have doubled (after some years of being relatively stable).
And, of course, behind this is a fall in supply caused by crop failures & #climatechange;
so perhaps the Q. is: like the #wine industry, is the shift in climate patterns (whatever its massive damage elsewhere) going to present an opportunity to English #farmers to move into the cultivation of #olives?
As the South of England gets warmer so the fields they are a changing....
Thanks for all the #olives my old friend!

I just love the look of #olives when they are just about to turn from green to purple!

Today we have started the third round of #olive picking. I'll see if I can post the occasional picture, might have to fill in ALT text when I'm home (it's tricky to keep on taking off gloves).

After several years of wondering what to do with the mature olive trees on our property, we found a local farm (Gold Ridge Farm) that presses olives by reservation. 130 pounds of olives made three gallons of flavorful, spicy oil. It took us a few hours to pick and sort, and we’re already looking forward to next year.
What's for dinner?

Grove robbers target 'liquid gold' as olive oil prices triple globally.
Criminals across the Mediterranean region are stealing olives and branches and even cutting down trees to lay their hands on the fruit that has tripled in price since 2019.
Some of the trees have stood for more than a hundred years.
I've been listening to #RadioFreeFedi all day during #OliveHarvest, but couldn't use my phone's touchscreen while wearing gloves, so I thought it'd be a great day for field testing my #RFF display prototype, using a #Pimoroni Pico Inky Pack E-paper display for the #RaspberryPiPico.
It shows the currently playing track, lets me switch between main, comfy and specialty, and I can generate a QR code to take me straight to the artist profile or their music.
POV: You're a fair weather #olive farmer.
Only two days into the harvest and I can already feel every bone in my body ache!
