A couple I know are vaguely planning to sell their UK property and just float off to Spain with the idea they can afford a small olive farm that will support them (they're approaching 60 years old and not particularly fit). I'm trying to get a few facts that they can chew on - nett yearly profit per acre; an overview of pitfalls for an inexperienced grower working with temporary local labour; typical personal daily workload involved, etc.

I am a horticulturist currently working in Australia with citrus, grapes, and maize. I have a great interest in organic and biodynamic food production and would like to work in an olive grove in Spain. I am very fit and would be keen to take part in all aspects of production, from general grove management, harvesting and oil pressing. Those interested in further information or my resume may contact me via my email address. Regards, Thea Ridley.
