Hey everyone!
Happy New Year!
We just wanted to drop a quick line and let you know that we arrived in Greece about a week ago and went straight to work. As of this writing, the olives have already been picked, pressed and delivered by us to the port in Athens and shipping this Tuesday (1/10/2012).
It should be arriving in the port in NYC around February 10th. We have been keeping a daily journal as well as taking some great photos of our experience and will be publishing them on our blog when we get back. Internet is practically non-existent in the village! :)
In the meantime, here is a sneak peek!




Thank you everyone, together we did it! What an amazing journey the past few weeks have been; and it's only the beginning!
Georgia and I are really excited to get the gears moving on this project and move into the production phase. We will be sending another update in the next few days highlighting our progress and offering other avenues to stay in touch with us.
If you are on Facebook, please be sure to follow our fan page by clicking here. We will also maintain updates on Kickstarter until we eventually migrate to our own branded online destination.
Please feel free to reach out to us with any additional questions you may have at any time.
With many thanks,
Niko and Georgia
