Olive, the other Reindeer!

Today, my parents harvested the olives from our baby olive trees in the backyard.  We cleaned them off and now are soaking them in a glass bowl filled with a brine.  It should be three or four weeks until they are cured.  I can't wait to try them.  I really hope they are yummy! 

This spring we are going to plant the olive trees at Hobble Rock Ranch was the first two trees of a small olive grove.  We plan to make table olives and boutique olive oils out of the olives produced.  We will use all we need for ourselves and maybe even market some to local restaurants.
