We have a great place here in Queen Creek. It's acres of olive trees with a
processing plant and a restaurant that's always busy and has great food. It's called the Olive Mill, a favorite place in the area and only a mile from home. They also have tons of different olive oils. If you're ever out here, stop by, you won't be disappointed.
