Olive Farm
When actress Carol Drinkwater and her fiancé Michel stumble upon a neglected olive farm in Provence, they’re swept into a whirlwind of romance, renovation, and reinvention. With little more than passion and savings, they purchase the crumbling estate and begin transforming it into a thriving haven. As they clear weeds, restore buildings, and nurture ancient olive trees, they discover not only the beauty of the land but also the quirks of local life—from eccentric neighbors to bureaucratic tangles.
The Olive Farm is a lyrical and heartfelt memoir that captures the highs and lows of chasing a dream in the French countryside. Drinkwater’s vivid storytelling brings Provence to life, from sun-drenched terraces to the thrill of harvesting olives. It’s a tale of resilience, love, and the pursuit of a simpler, more meaningful existence—perfect for anyone who’s ever longed to escape to a corner of paradise.
