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!

LA International Olive Oil Competition Announces Winners!

We were excited once again to find we won another medal! This time in the LA International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition!

This has been such an encouraging year for us. All of our enjoyable, but hard work, has given us amazing results in the competitions we have entered.

Here is some information on this latest competition:

The Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition has grown from a 25-entry beginning to a truly spectacular array of the finest international oils. The list of Northern Hemisphere countries represented is impressive: Croatia, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Morocco, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey and the United States.

“Our competition has become well known for its great competence,” said Corti. “Our judges have a great deal of experience and are talented tasters.”

The competition itself is not open to the public, but they will have an opportunity to taste the winning olive oils at FUN Decanted, a wine, spirits, beer and evoo festival June 23 at Fairplex and at the 2012 L.A. County Fair, where winning olive oils will be featured at the Fair’s Wine, Beer & Spirits Marketplace.

The Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition is judged in two categories, domestic and international, and separated according to regional designations and fruitiness intensity levels. The competition also includes flavored olive oils.
