1997
Located in the center of Silicon Valley, Olson’s Cherries is the last operating fruit orchard of its kind in the fertile region of California once known as “The Valley of Heart’s Delight”. In black and white 16mm film, Silicon Harvest lovingly tells the story of Charlie Olson, a cherry farmer right out of Steinbeck, and his feisty determination to keep his way of life in a San Francisco Bay Area transformed by the wealth and power of the tech industry.
