As I've said before, there is always something interesting going on in Sonoma. These folks are harvesting their olives. Notice the tarp spread on the ground under the tree were a worker has climbed on a ladder to reach the top branches. He will shake the tree to make the ripened olives fall. Then he will gather the olives into a bucket. The olives will then be taken to a local olive crusher who will spin the olives forcing the oil into a vat. Each olive tree produces it's own special flavor of olive oil. Sometimes spices will be added. Olive Oil is becoming one of the areas favorite crops. Try the lemon infused olive oil...or the garlic...or sundried tomatoe. Delicious.
