Their local chapters can help people get in touch with buyers and harvesters. Best of luck to you!

I’ve never had an experienced NZ olive grower say not to touch the trees when they’re wet, so perhaps there’s some difference due to climate?

We try to harvest with the third-third-third rule in mind. We try to get a third of our overall harvest when it’s green. See my post ‘Preparing for the olive harvest.’

We’re tiny and local, but check out the ‘olive oil‘ page for info on how to order from overseas.

I see your goal is to harvest green olives (you do that for the flavour?), there are now many evidences that the best period to harvest is not again known, weself are experienced a study in collaboration with grants of agricultural ministry and agrarian faculty of Pisa university in Italy to discover that period.

Anyway you spoke of olives hit from frost and rain is another important issue that I will discuss later with you. Mist and rain are the true enemies and not cold, do not touch the wet olive trees, next year your olives will become an infection determined by pseudomonas: http://tinyurl.com/m4tu8v, but anyway i will follow you on twitter, I have other important question michele

Just curious but do you guys sell the oil for US export or just local consumption?
