I must admit, this was not the original post that I had planned for today.
But when life hands you olives….you make olive oil!
One of my new blog buddies, Nanette, from The Gourmet Worrier, let me know of a way to adopt your own olive tree in Italy.
So, it should come as no surpirse that I surrfed right over to the website to check it out!
Nudo is a great way to help olive farming, keeping a time-honored tradition of pruning, harvesting and milling olive trees by hand alive, all the while owning your own tree. You can receive updates about your tree, you can visit it, and most importantly, you will receive the oil from your tree.
If you live nearby or plan a trip to Italy during the year, you can even visit your tree!
It's also a great way to support organic…keep it green!
Ownership is for 1 year and as part of your adoption, you get an adoption certificate and 2 shipments of glorious olive oil from your tree and trees surrounding yours in the same grove. All for only 65 GBP, which is about $94. Not bad.
Maybe you have friends that would like to share tree adoption with you-and share the wealth. And how fun would be to invite your friends over for dinner and dress a salad with olive oil from your own olive tree?
That would make some delicious dinner conversation, don't you think?
So what do you think? Are you in? Would you like to adopt your very own Italian Olive Tree?
