We had a great tour at the the Husary Olive Mill and Nursery on October 12th! Mousa Husary gave us the full tour of his oil processing equipment, most of which was made in Italy and shipped directly here to Graton. He also showed us how he propagates olive trees, and offered for tasting two different olive oils that were pressed on site last year. By the time we were done, he had walked us through the entire process from starting a baby tree, through caring for an orchard, harvesting fruit, pressing and filtering the oil, and bringing it to the table! We are lucky in this watershed to have local producers of a variety of organic, quality food! Thank you, Mousa, for being so generous with your time, knowledge - and olive oil! - Jean Redus, Co-chair, AGVWC Board of Directors
