It's our second time to have participated on the Fiumare festival in Rijeka and it  was a pleasure to represent our products in the city centre on 3rd of June 2016.
Together with other representatives from Municipality of Malinska Dubašnica we have represented our Community and our products. Right beside the theatre in Rijeka you had a wonderful opportunity to buy local products and enjoy maritime events trough out the city.

Like every year in the early spring we have started cutting our olives and every day when the weather allows us we spend in the grove.
Sometimes you just have to make a cut and start fresh. For our olive trees it is the time we cut all excessive branches and stimulate them to grow again and prepare for flowering season and ultimately for the next harvest.
After such a mild winter like this cutting the olives is even more important to prevent diseases and stimulate olives for growth.

Spring will officialy arrive in a month, but as you can see on the photo, the nature is not resting any more. That means we have some work to do 😊

As we always pount out all our olives are hand picked, and it may be fun at 11AM but by 4PM it's a pretty hard work and our olive pickers basically work hard for days.
There's a group of our dear friends who always help us, every single year and we appreciate it ;)
So we made them a little party and you can see some photos how nice a not working day can be in our groves.
