YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST GO EXPERIENCE THIS !!!!
My husband and I took the day and went out here. When we pulled up we were greeted with samples of there olive oils an home made olive bread WHICH IS AMAZING!! I took a class for $10 and preserved my own jar of olives after the class I got a FREE olive tree to start to grow myself. The people here are so kind, friendly and down to earth cool !!! We then ventured into the gift shop which was warm a cozy and filled with tons of olive stuff. We bought a jar of oil, a jar of stuffed olives a loaf of the olive bread and 3 more trees for $25 !!! The experience alone is WELL worth the trip out there!!! We will be going back with our kids to make olive oil lamps and let them see the groves and experience this

Olive Trees, Great Music, Organic shopping, Classes - All Good!
Attended the recent Fall Olive Festival and was pleased with the entertainment. For a FREE event there was a lot to offer. 3 Musical acts performed during the afternoon: the DeLei'd Parrots, Bill Wharton "the Sauce Boss" and Amber Lynn Nicol. We were there for most of Bill Wharton - he was very entertaining. Made a big pot of gumbo and got ladies to come up and stir things up while he played slide guitar and sang the blues. Nice little gift shop where olive oils, vinegars, soaps and hand crafted goodies are sold. Classes were going on throughout the day. Olive trees were also available for purchase. Funky little farm with lots of potential. Check out their calendar for varied ongoing classes like knitting, olive curing, soap making. Regular entertainment.
