We grow olive trees | ||
We grow Frantoio, Pendolino, Leccino, Leccio del Corno, Maurino, and Kalamata cultivars, mainly for production of oil. Most of our six hundred 18-year-old trees are pruned low to optimize the harvesting of the fruit, but some are trained upward for architectural appeal. We are now contemplating selling off some of the mature trees, either individually or in groups. |
||
We produce olive oil | ||
Our olives are grown without any pesticides or herbicides, harvested in mid- or late-November, and milled into oil within 2 days of harvest. |
