Letters from the Groves

We write once a month.  We write because the people on our waitlist have asked to be told what is happening on five small groves in Cyprus, and because a year of olive farming is a long, slow story that does not fit into a harvest announcement.

Everything we have sent is here. The monthly letters, the photographs, and the printed newsletters we post to our customers, which you can download and read in full.

If you are new, start with the most recent. If you would rather see how the year has run, start at the bottom and work up.

The printed newsletters

We post these to our customers. The longer science: a compound of the month, a study worth your time, a report from the groves. Free to download.
