#olives

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

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."

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....

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.

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.
