The Olive Farm

£7.99

“The Olive Farm” is the story of the highs and lows of purchasing the farm and life in Provence: the local customs and cuisine; the threats of fire and adoption of a menagerie of animals; the potential financial ruin and the thrill of harvesting their own olives - especially when they are discovered to produce the finest extra-virgin olive oil.

Television actress Carol Drinkwater fell in love with the South of France, bought an olive farm, Appassionata, restored it and started farming olives. This is the lyrical account of her new life in Provence, its ups and downs, her slow assimilation into the vivacious local Provencal community.
