Olives

[Valerie]

I am seriously thinking about getting some olive trees. Turns out, olive farming is picking up here in south Georgia! Blueberry farmers are finding that they can plant olive orchards and use the blueberry harvesting equipment to harvest the olives, and it gives them two crops a year instead of just one!

I was reading up in this today, and I think I might get two or three young trees. They used to grow in this area back when the Spanish had the land.

I don't want to go full out on farming or oil pressing (unless I find a way to DIY), but I would like to cure table olives, and maybe sell them.

pay a bit extra and get the hybrid variety that has the little red thingy in the middle instead of a pit -

Joan, that would be worth whatever it cost! And the ones that have a garlic clove in the middle! Divine!
