San Miguel Olive Farm where our olives dance on the trees at midnight under the stars.

Stunning, Beautiful & Ours!

Many weeks ago, a friend from years gone by, agreed to use his artistic talent to create a sign for the gate that leads to our SAN MIGUEL OLIVE FARM. On Sunday, it was "unveiled." We approached slowly, excited to finally see the results of his labor. We were thrilled with all we saw. Amazing detail that perfectly captured the feel of our family farm.

We thank Brent, and his wife, Sheila, for how they worked as a team to give us exactly what we had wanted.

We not only savor our oil, but enjoy completely, our friendships!

The Olives Are Coming, The Olives Are Coming!!

We have been eagerly awaiting this day! The month of May was full of changes on our beautiful trees.

 First we had the tiny buds appearing.

A week later, flowers appeared.

The last day of May, tiny olives were seen!!!

These are our potential harvest for 2012 :)

While all this has been happening, we have been busy irrigating, adding emitters to the now larger trees, and removing any suckers at the bottom of the trunks.

We continue to feel so fortunate to be learning something so special...how to grow olive trees and produce a fine product.  SAN MIGUEL OLIVE FARM EVOO!

Savor with us!

Weed By Weed

April showers bring........WEEDS! No doubt about that, here at San Miguel Olive Farm!

But we are in the "tackling" mood, and so with tools in hand, we head down to the farm to the young trees that are being choked by the colorful "Vetch." Every day we head down to the farm to the new trees that being choked by the colorful "Vetch!!!" :), plus numerous and sundry other hearty weeds.

This tree has just breathed a sigh of "Thank You!"

As we weed, we are noticing even the young trees are starting to bud. 

It won't be long before we see evidence of the first fruit of the season!

In the meantime, the "one armed hoer" chops away.....

and his partner in weeding takes a rest with one of the Golden Girls.

 We'll keep weeding, and you keep savoring our San Miguel Olive Farm EVOO!
