Havent actually turned any (holy) olive yet but I visited my uncle on the weekend. He's a farmer and turns out his neighbor heats his house with a fireplace so every once in a while he goes out and gathers some wood. More than he really needs. We popped by and went to see what he has. He said I could take a few and come back again when they run out on me.

image#2: the pieces I took (2 olive one pecan, all crotch).
