Growing Olives: Information On Setting Up Your Own Olive Growing Enterprise

This introductory manual was written to provide prospective olive growers (both city people looking for a change in lifestyle and existing farmers) with information that may assist them to avoid some of the pitfalls and if nothing else understand what olive farming is about. It is not intended to be a detailed scientific study that contains all the answers. Since I opened the Olive Shop to compliment my farming enterprise, I have had many queries from people wanting to know more about growing the noble fruit. I hope this publication provides answers to some of the questions posed and points to some of the important areas that will require further research.
