From the Fields - Brooke Hazen

December 11, 2024

Apple harvest is done, and we have moved to olive harvest. I started custom crushing for customers in early October and started my own harvest in mid-November. I go through all my varieties until around Christmas. I have 21 varieties, four different blends. Olives are alternate-bearing, and this year I’m having an “on” cycle. I’m having a banner year. It’s right up there with my previous high years. Every tree was in flower and was fruiting, so very high yields.
