This is a unique opportunity to be part of a special program launched by the Trampolini family of Perugia Italy. For more than 20 years, acres of 300+ year old olive trees in Umbria have been left abandoned. The reason is due to mechanization of the olive harvest. These trees are growing in the rolling hills of Umbria and need to be harvested by hand. Machines cannot fit among the trees without damaging them; the people who would pick the olives have left the countryside for "greener pastures" in the cities. Olive Oil of the World has joined the movement to bring these trees back into production by "adoption." Your contribution finances clearing the weeds and vines that have taken over the fields and entangled the trees, the hiring of staff to pick the olives, and the costs involved with pressing the olives into oil. Sponsor will receive 4 bottles (2 liters) of olive oil pressed from your tree. Estimated delivery dates in the US are between Dec 1st and Feb 1st , though generally it is before Christmas.
We can also arrange for you to be part of the actual harvest of the adopted trees during the harvest season or for a visit to the adoption olive grove at any time of year.
Adoptions after September 15th will fulfill the following year harvest.
