Thanks to all the small-batch processors who have contacted us with their details; they’re now on our register, which we reference to connect processors with people wanting to utilize their services. The FOE and Olivegrower team have had a number of enquiries this year from people looking for small-batch processors – both ‘home’ olive growers wanting to produce their own oil and growers with reduced crops. Our new register aims to include all processors across Australia and New Zealand willing and able to process small batches of olives. If this is you, please send your details to editor Gerri Nelligan at wordsync@bigpond.com. Please include contact and pricing details, minimum quantities required, and whether you will crush individually or on a “mix and percentage” basis. We’ve had a great response so far, and have already been able to refer growers to processors, and want to make the register as complete as possible. Please send us your details so we can add you to the list – it could mean valuable additional work for your business. In particular, we’d still love to hear from small batch processors in South Australia and Queensland.
