There are more than 1,000 olive varieties planted on six continents. Take that as a starting point and you can appreciate how deep the subject goes.
In 2008 I was helping to make wine in my native Germany and there was one winery that was experimenting with growing olives. Olive oil from Germany? Why not? Some bold farmers have even started an olive grove on BCs Salt Spring Island and now there’s a three-year waiting list for their oil.
Together, let's build Canadian-owned, local journalism in Ottawa
Local news in Canada is struggling to survive. But here at the Lookout, our small team is on a mission to expand our neighbourhood journalism across all of Ottawa. And it’s working.
Unlike almost every other publication in Ottawa, we’re reader-funded. That means we rely on readers like you to pay our journalists and fund the stories you read.
It means we don’t need to chase clickbait stories, but long-form, in-depth local stories you can’t find anywhere else.
To do all this, we need your help. Consider becoming a member today to fund our journalists and help us build the future of local journalism in Ottawa, one that’s powered by locals.
Together, we can rebuild local neighbourhood news in Ottawa.
—Geoff, Charlie and Ralf, the Ottawa Lookout team
