olive trees growing, machienery used and any biological methods that i could
implenet in producing a healthier product.

-Machienery used to cut the weeds, and parasites around the tree.
- Machienery used to collect the olives.
-Machinery used to extract the olives from the branches once they fell on the ground.
-Methods used to extract the olive oil
-Methods used to package and distribute and initial tiny qty of abt 200 ltr of olive oil produced, and prices.
