Writer's picture: Morris NurseryMorris Nursery

You probably already know that at Morris Nursery, we don't just sell plants. Our gift room is currently full of beautiful Christmas decor, ornaments, poinsettias, and more holiday fun. What you might not know, however, is that we also carry an array of local honey, jams, BBQ sauces, olive oils, and vinegar!

Today we'd like to feature a product that is new to our store from The French Olive: Meyer Lemon Olive Oil


Carole Juergenson of The French Olive was kind enough to send us a few recipes to share that sound delicious and could be a great addition to your holiday meals.


If you try these recipes out, let us know! We'd love to hear and see how they turned out.
