Olive Harvesting and Curing at the NCE 2015

Looking to cure your own olives?

We recently did just that and have captured the process on video as we did it. Our video contains the basics of what’s required to prepare and enjoy your own savory olives. We also used the reference below from the University of California at Davis to help develop our methods.

NorCal Earthship/NorCal Pocket of Freedom Project

We are going to build an Earthship here in Northern California and this blog, along with our other social media sites, will chronicle the journey and challenges we overcome along the way including permitting and requirements called for by the county we live in and the state of California.

This is the initial Blog for the project. Things are under construction a little now, but if you stopped by to see what’s going on this is the right place! Please check back soon, or sign up for updates!

thanks,

Chuck Seegert.
