Back by popular demand!Do you have olive trees? Have you seen trees that aren't being picked? Help turn unwanted olives into delicious, local oil with the help of Fruit Rescue and Grampians Olive Co.
How to share your olives! 🌿
1. Book in your spot: https://fruitrescue.org.au/olives
Under 15kg is free to drop off, if you want some oil in return you'll make a donation to help cover processing costs for larger quantities. Tell your picking crew to save the date of the last weekend in May!
2. Pick no earlier than two days before drop off
Organise your helpers for a picking party and and harvest your olives on Friday 29th or Saturday 30th May. They can be green or black, any size and a few leaves in the mix are okay. Put them into containers/buckets/boxes/bags.
3. Drop off
Bring them to the Koroit Community Garden on 102 Hight St (between Library and Senior Citizens), Koroit on Sunday 31 May between 2-4pm. We'll confirm your details and weigh your olives to work out the cost if you’d like some oil in return. We're more than happy to take olives off your hands for free if you don't want a share oil back.
4. Oil collection🛢️
After the olives are pressed, we'll email you to confirm the pick up date and time. How much you get depends on how much you contribute. Bring your container along to take home your fresh olive oil - oppa!
