Organic farmer breeds foreign interest in olive oil
By Cynthia Busuttil,
Organic farming might be a new concept for Malta but for Siggiewi born and bred farmer Joseph Borg it is something he has been practising for over two decades.
Although coming from a family of farmers, Mr Borg distanced himself from the land and held different jobs before deciding to return to his first love in 1985.

In Paso, oil and wine can mix
By Jeanne Kinney,
Joshua Yaguda, co-owner of Pasolivo Olive Oil, is proving that Paso Robles is more than wine country.
Yaguda, his wife, Joeli, and his mother, Karen Guth, run the 140-acre Willow Creek Olive Ranch, where each year about 50 laborers are able to hand-pick up to 10 tons of olives a day. After picking, the olives are cleaned, washed, crushed and spun. The leftovers are put back into the orchard as compost.
Thanks to a new Pieralisi press, which Pasolivo purchased in time for the 2005 harvest, one ton of olives can be milled every hour. Last year, Pasolivo produced 4,000 gallons of oil.
