The Olive Farm: A Memoir of Life, Love and Olive Oil in the South of France
The Olive Farm: A
Memoir Of Life, Love
And Olive Oil In The
South Of France
£8.99
” All my life, I have dreamed of acquiring a crumbling, shabby-chic house overlooking the sea. In my mind`s eye, I have pictured a corner of paradise where friends can gather to swim, relax, debate, eat fresh fruits picked directly from the garden & great steaming plates of food served from an al fresco kitchen & dished up on to a candlelit table the length of a railway sleeper...” When Carol Drinkwater & her partner Michel have the opportunity to buy 10 acres of disused olive farm in Provence, the idea seems absurd. After all, they don`t have a lot of money, & they`ve only been together a little while. THE OLIVE FARM is the story of the highs & lows of purchasing the farm & life in Provence: the local customs & cuisine; the threats of fire & adoption of a menagerie of animals; the potential financial ruin & the thrill of harvesting their own olives
- especially when they are discovered to produce the finest extra-virgin olive oil...

” The stars shimmer like spilled handfuls of glitter. The day is beginning to rise with a faint mist. As I turn my head, ghostly halos, auras of light, appear & disappear.. . The silence is truly awesome. Not a bird, not a whisper of wind, not a breath of life. Only the two of us, a most implausible pair, standing shoulder to shoulder gazing upon an awakening heaven” Returning to their home after an extended absence Carol & her husband Michel are looking forward to summer together on the farm. A shocking blow leaves Carol alone & the future is uncertain. Feeling isolated & with no olives to harvest, Carol ventures beyond the farm to explore other aspects of Provencal life
- from hunting to bee-keeping, the ancient language to the ever-present demands of family & friends. & ultimately, Provence`s generous diversity
- & Carol`s own persistence in sharing it with those she loves
- paves a path to joy.
