Bucket of Red Hot Olive Deliciousness
Henry Robertson cures olives and you can find him at the Saturday Farmers Market in the center of the plaza — you can find his olives at other places if you just can’t wait. They are sold at the North Coast Co-op; Wildberries; Eureka Natural Foods and are also available in many local restaurants where they are featured on the menus. We visited Henry on October 30th and found him at work preparing some extra spicy olives. www.henrysolives.com
