Over a long Veteran’s Day weekend in November, friends and family gathered to bring in the olive harvest at Condor’s Hope. Following a centuries old tradition, folks were ready to return and touch the earth and be with others in community. From ages 3 to 80, this multi-generational group of harvesters clustered around the olive trees, hand-picking and raking the olives and telling stories old and new. Please share in the fun with these photos.
The olives were ready

As we gathered 
around the trees 
to bring in the harvest. 
Harvesters could be found 
on the ground 
in the middle 
And some on the top 
All worked hard 
to bring it all in. 
The kids played, 
problem solved 
Just how many olives are in a pound? 
and wrote harvest stories too! 
We all celebrated the harvest 
with Chef Brendan’s amazing food 
Paula’s delicious vegan desserts. 
Around the campfire 
Dancing 
to Paul & Emily’s music 
We took the olives to the mill 
Where they were washed 
and mashed 
into 56 gallons of golden oil 
Tasted with pure joy! 
To the many hands 
we say a BIG 
THANK YOU!!
