    Bought a bottle ($5.99) once in 2008 and hadn't been able to find them since until a few weeks ago…read more The oil is very different than most extra virgin olive oils. It has a yellow color and this earthy/grassy flavor. I've tried various olive oils and can't find anything quite like it. I bought a couple of bottles upon their return, although the price had gone up. The corked bottle was also replaced with a screw top. My wife was asking me to see if they had returned, as I didn't notice them for months. The last batch seemed to be a bit cloudy, but the taste/smell was the same as I remembered. It's been sitting in my cabinet for a few weeks, and the cloudiness seems to be reduced, although there's some sediment at the bottom now. My wife and I talked to the owner, and when he has stock he has a table at the Kensington Farmer's Market about every other Sunday. Apparently the owner has the farm in Orland, but he lives in El Cerrito. I couldn't figure out how anyone could make money selling a few dozen bottles of olive oil by driving out 150 miles each trip. He must just bring over a large quantity of the bottles and then sells a few of them at the market on a particular Sunday.

    He's back! His name is Dennis Town. I saw him today at the Kensington farmer's market. I think…read morehe was a little embarrassed by my enthusiastic response to his return. He told me he hadn't been there for 7 months because he'd run out of olive oil. He has a new batch. It's $9.99 for a 500 ML bottle, still a bargain. I got his card, so I can update his contact information.

    Lets call this a very belated review. As a kid growing upin the 50's and 60's at Herlong Jct, my…read morefolks had Morning Glory products at their store The Mark. I would often be in trouble for drinking a quart of milk at dinner, and then not wanting to finish the food. There was something special about their milk for me. When I would go down to the valley to stay with family, they would have some other dairy products, and I could drink the milk there, it just didn't taste right to me. When I moved away after high school, I stopped drinking milk altogether except when I visited the folks, or was at a Guard meeting in Susanville. May sound strange, but it a true story. Wonder what they feed those cows?

    We got treated to some smoothies or bagels at work courtesy of the Morning Glory Food Truck. The…read morestaff was pretty courteous and professional, and considering it was a 2-man operation, they did a great job filling the orders quickly. The only critique I have was that our Turkey Bagel BLT were missing the bacon but then again, we were the last employees to show up, we waited until the queue was shorter so they may have run out of certain ingredients. But overall, the everything bagel and cream cheese were tasty, and a free-lunch is a free-lunch; so overall, we had great initial dining experience with the Morning Glory Food Truck.
