Well, they say you plant an olive grove for your grandchildren. It's a slow growing tree that takes a while to mature, and it's young until it's 50 years old. It's really after they hit a century that they hit their stride, and then they'll produce great fruit for literally thousands of years. Agriculture is partially about the relationship one has to the land, to the plants, and I think the more we interact with them, the more rewarding it is for us, and I think that also reflects the quality of what we're providing. But being a smaller operation and having more attention to the quality of what we do as opposed to just the quantity of it, here everything's done by hand, and I think that has a huge impact in the product, and also it's important to us. My name is Philip Asquith, I live in Ojai, California, and I make olive oil.
