Nesin Math Village was the vision of entrepreneurs who envisioned a place for students or all ages and inclinations to spend time with no distractions in a beautiful environment in close colloquy and ponder large questions. The 2014 Zeytin Program was held here, and included several key activities related to olive harvest.
For one, workshop participants spent a morning harvesting olives
learning from agricultural engineer Cahit Tunç, who
recently retired as the Chief of
Research and Development
at TARİŞ Cooperative, largest in the country. He is
now consulting with farmers and cooperatives.
For another, we interviewed a number of local residents about their experience with olive oil, which often turned towards harvest, as most owned a grove or had a relationship with someone who did.
We also visited the Şirince Cooperative Press.
