History of Scripps Olive Oil

The presence of these olive trees on Scripps campus today is the result of student activism in the 1960s. In 1968, Scripps students “took to the trees,” protesting the removal of the Olive Grove during planned construction of the Humanities Building. As a result, 60 olive trees were carefully dug up, boxed, and stored during construction and eventually replanted.

In 2007, Professor Nancy Neiman taught the Core II course, “The Politics and Culture of Food,鈥 in which she asked her class to choose an aspect of the Scripps community that could be more sustainable. Students developed a proposal to produce olive oil from the existing olive trees on campus, inspiring a new movement on campus to utilize the olives and other edible plants on campus as a food source.

On November 9, 2012, dozens of students, staff, and faculty members gathered for 澳门六合彩开奖记录资料鈥檚 first olive harvest. More than 700 8-oz. bottles were produced from a single day of harvesting.
