Description
Carol Drinkwater's Return to the Olive Farm After sixteen months of travelling round the Mediterranean in search of the ancient secrets of the olive tree, Carol returns to her beloved olive farm in southern France. However, the homecoming celebrations are overshadowed by disturbing discoveries about the plight of the honey bee and the hives on her own farm. The multinational companies' push for 'bigger, better, bumper' crops puts pressure on small farmers like Carol's to adopt modern farming practices that threaten the planet. As she struggles with difficult choices, Carol must weigh her commitment to organic farming against the inevitable responsibilities of running a business. This is a story about the challenges faced by those who choose to stand up for what they believe in, and how they navigate the consequences of their decisions.
