I grow olivestrees. Olives grow from evergreen
trees and are usually in countries which possess a
Mediterranean climate. According to the legend
olives were brought to Athens, Greece, by the
Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena

 • Since when have you been growing olives and
have you thought about growing another seed?
I have been growing olives
since 1965 and I have
many times thought about
growing another seed. To
be more specific, I have
thought about growing
cotton and grapes which
seemed very intriguing to
me when I was younger
but I ended up not growing
other seeds.
 • When do you pick the olives and
with what tools?
There different kinds of olives. I
pick the green ones early in
March and the black ones in
October.
There is a wide variety of tools
but I mostly use the farming
tractor and special nets which
are there to catch the olives
when they fall of the trees.
 • What do you do to help the
environment in your business
In my business I make an effort to protect the
environment. Some of the things I do is to use
just biopackage and I’m proud to say that all
of my products are bio.
