If the weather is nice this might be a fun outing, however, it looks as though the public will not be taking olives home. The website says they will be collected to be bottled as olive oil and then sold by the estate.

That sounds like great fun and a chance to be close to history.

I harvested my own olives for several years, each time yielding a crop of some 30 gallons. If anyone needs advice on curing their olives, please feel free to contact me. Or Janet Newcomb – we are “old hands” at this.
If you go, here’s a gathering tip – bring along one or more of those mesh, folding laundry hampers. They weigh nothing, you can sling it over your arm and put the olives in there. Better than a heavy bucket.
