We think that we have wrapped up most of our harvest. The 2009 picking was a small one… The weather in springtime is simply not cooperating. Just as the olive flowers were opening in May, we got a nasty storm that rolled through with lots of rain and wind. That is a recipe for disaster on its own, but then the weather turned to be very hot just 5 days later. Basically, what flowers survived the rain and wind were dried out by the heat and fell to the ground.

That being said, the flavors of the oils are wonderful. It should be quite a bit of fun to blend them all and launch our first certified organic extra virgin olive oil!
