October in California isn't just about pumpkin spice lattes and falling leaves; it's also when the Golden State's olive orchards burst into action, hosting the spectacular annual olive harvest. Hand-picking and mechanical shaking are the two primary methods. Hand-picking is a dance where skilled workers gently pluck olives one by one, while mechanical shakers make ripe olives rain down onto waiting nets. And the fun continues beyond the orchards, with olive oil tastings, cooking demos, and lively celebrations. It's a chance for locals and visitors to enjoy delicious food and embrace the golden goodness of EVOO.
