Corning Olive Festival returns despite devastating drought impacts and low olive harvest
While the event laid idle in 2020, over 90 vendors revived it this year. These farmers, artists, cooks and other vendors come from as far as Sacramento and Oregon, to as near as the community park’s backyard. … Jessanna Levitsky was selling produce from her farm, Heartbeat Farm, all day, but says the drought didn’t make it easy. Her domestic well has run dry and her family now depends on their agricultural well to both grow and live. It means less water going to the olive trees and less produce being harvested.
