Amuri Estate Retreat Olive Harvest
04 Jul 2011  - 31 Jul 2011

Amuri Estate Retreat Olive Harvest
A 'hands on' experience to help with the olive harvest. This is not hard work! Our olive trees are picked by hand using tarps under the trees and hand held rakes to strip the fruit from the branches. We work in teams of two, and there is no skill requried other than being sociable. A medium level of fitness is best as there is some bending, lifting and walking required. But we are living testimony to what can be achieved by the power of positive thinking! Providing the season runs true to form, the harvest commences in early June and finishes around mid-July. Even though this takes place during the Winter months, we usually enjoy warm & sunny weather. Occasionally we have harvested in the snow so best to be prepared for anything by wearing lots of layers. The day starts around 8:30am. Morning snacks are provided, and include tea, coffee, fresh fruit & muesli bars. Lunches include sandwiches, Lisa's homemade soups & fresh bread. Knock-off time is around 4:30pm. After the crates are loaded on the truck, we invite everyone to join us for some 'liquid libation'. Each participant receives Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Amuri Estate Retreat.
