Read An Olive Grove at the Edge of the World: How two American city boys built a new life in rural New Zealand By Jared Gulian Full Books Online in HD Quality

Discover the hilarious and endearing tale of how two American city boys learn to become olive farmers in rural New Zealand.

For Jared Gulian, leaving the United States and coming to tiny Wellington, New Zealand, was a big enough switch from the bright lights of big cities. So when his partner CJ decided they just had to buy a rundown olive grove in the Wairarapa valley, it was almost too much to cope with.

First they'd have to drive over the dangerous Rimutaka range road to get there, and Jared was terrified of heights. Then they'd have to figure out what on earth you do with 500 olive trees that hadn't been pruned for years, a geriatric rooster, warring hens, an obese kunekune pig, cast sheep, marauding cattle, and understanding your neighbors when they said "yiece" but meant "yes."

In this charming and warm-hearted memoir, Jared Gulian describes the first four years of their new life in the country, its disasters and small triumphs, its surprises and pleasures. But most of all he describes the warmth of the local community that welcomed him, saved him from certain peril, taught him how to cook, how to care for animals, and how to understand and love the land.

This book was previously published in New Zealand under the title Moon Over Martinborough, where it became a bestseller (Nielsen BookScan NZ, June & July 2013).
