As years went by and generations came and went these isolated trees were connected by more rows of olive trees. These trees were planted as it became apparent that olive oil was a product that farmers could cultivate and make money from. Consequently they became orchards that were handed down to family members and some were inherited by my immediate family.
THE LAND
My grandfather grew old and split his olive trees between his kids. He urged them all to invest in more trees and before my grandfather passed away my father had bought several hundred more trees. Now as my father ages my brother and I have started traveling to Crete to help him and carry on the family tradition. Our family’s call of the wild.
