the olive harvest
The experience
The olive harvest in Morocco is more than just an agricultural activity; it is a deeply rooted cultural tradition that brings families and communities together. Every year, usually between October and January, Moroccans gather in olive groves to pick olives by hand or with simple tools, sharing stories, laughter, and traditional meals. This moment represents solidarity, patience, and a strong connection to the land.
