Linda Costa Table Olive Workshop National Tour – Hunter Valley NSW

25 February 2020 @ 8:00 am - 7:00 pm

Free – $132.00

 

Event Summary

South African table olive expert Linda Costa’s presentations and workshops at the 2018 and 2019 National Olive Conferences were a hit and left growers wanting even more … so she’s heading back for a national workshop tour in early 2020.
Working with the AOA, Linda will deliver a series of full day workshops in major production regions across the country, ensuring industry-wide access to her expertise. The workshops will cover all aspects of table olive production and marketing, from varietal options and processing methods to food safety and consumer demand. There will be lots of opportunity for Q & A. A draft program appears below.
