Here's a dirty little secret:
We inherited the olive trees. While I use olive oil, I simply dislike eating olives. Plus, once I found out how much faffing around you need to do to make them edible, I discounted that path.

If I am truthful, I struggle with the fresh stuff, even though we've grown it for years. It needs much garlic and plenty of chillies before I find it palatable.
Hey! You can always cook in olive oil. :D
If I wasn't fishing in this all day rain,I'd be home doing something stupid.

So what do you do with the harvest?

The olives are harvested by a local artisanal olive oil maker.

In return we get a percentage of the oil. They get olives, we get some oil and the fruit is not wasted. A win all around I think.

I think I need some spinach too!
One of the vegetables I consumed as a kid.. It was canned in vinegar. I was an adult before I tasted straight spinach.
Was raised as a kid on spinach with vinegar also. And that was shaky at best eating that. Can’t say I eat cooked spinach as adult. Fresh spinach in salads only.

I eat fresh spinach in soups or salads. Not cooked by itself.

I like coming to BN to escape the political crap on FB.

That's perfect, absolutely a win win!
Do you have to do anything to take care of the trees throughout the year? Trim, shape, etc?

Olives, apparently, like to be treated mean to keep 'em keen as the old saying goes.

The older trees have been left for too long and are very tall (over 30') which makes them hard to harvest. I will need to give them a hearty prune with a chainsaw in a couple of months.

The younger ones are ok but will need shaping next year, to let more air and light in and to aid harvesting.

The team who do the harvest have offered to drop around after harvest is done to give us some instruction.
