Sunshine at the olive groves The Lemon Grove in December 2011 Trigono-Lamda 187 ml olive oil
As Trigono-Lamda ends its twelth year, it is good to report progress at all sites except Petra. The year has been notable:

Access granted at the Trigono Grove - so we've celebrated by providing a specially designed gate.

Clearance of the wild area at Lamda, now an open, sunny grove after last year's heavy crop enabled hard pruning of the massive trees.

Second annual clearance at the Lemon Grove, so that the trees can be assessed for future viability.

As always we can't do everything:

Petra remains wild and we need to clear around the perimeter where the farm track made in 2008 has become overgrown.

The Travel Blog will be updated over the winter months.

Trigono-Lamda Olive Oil Production

During 2010-2011 the practical issues of transporting, bottling and labelling olive oil from the 2010 crop were tackled and overcome. Trigono-Lamda was registered in the UK. Legislation associated with setting up a small business had to be addressed and while tax was relatively straightforward, the Health and Safety requirements were found to be a sticking point as a level 3 health and hygiene certificate is required to enable sale of the olive oil in the UK.

No oil has been brought to the UK during 2011, this being a low yield year.

Greek Patios was our most popular section this summer, but has been taken over by the olive oil processing page. along with our Methoni page which gets more hits each month. We have many enquiries about Fish in the Ionian Sea and Peloponnese Travel.

Visitors from Greece now outnumber those from the UK, with the USA still leading.
