Work is continuing on the farm renovations, and we use the periods of bad weather to catch up on our administration. We’ve sent two big orders off recently, with our clients buying our biological olive oil in bulk, which each time gives us the opportunity to improve our packing and shipping methods. We don’t charge any administrative or processing fees on our online sales, and every order is a chance to recheck that we’re delivering the best possible price and delivery time to our customers.
