Since 4th october i am off from the work.... enjoying every part of it.

harvesting my olives and almonds were hard job but it was enjoyable.

I also picked up some hawthorn to make a jam.

This year was a lot of olive and almonds . I finished the almonds but still many works to do with olives. Almonds sellings are good. Even i send some almonds to turkey as well.
all the family are packing the almonds at nights. while packing goes and coffees, and cakes are goes......also cold EFes with fresh almonds....

we made some Chakizdez from the olives . End of this i will make my olive oils too.

That looks great Halil, it is just about that time when everyones picking and squeezing.

We also just made a bunch, nothing like fresh hot olive oil.

Also working on making some Garayağ as well yum!

Garayağ is not popular in our area Shah.... It is realy hard work to make it..... you must boil the olives and dry them afterwords...needs great care.u must protect the olives from dust, birds....etc...ect ....
where do you take your olives for squeezing ?
