Sad\u0131k Agha travelled from village to village and started grafting the trees with the pencil vaccines he brought from Crete. Sad\u0131k Agha is a hard man! In 1928, he quarries large stones near K\u00f6sebalc\u0131 Village and carves millstones day and night with his own hands for the production of olive oil, the only business the family knows. He built a 4-stone horse-drawn mill for crushing olives and brought a vice with a vine pulley from Izmir to squeeze the olives. In 1928, in an area of 40 m2, father and son started olive oil production again to meet the olive oil needs of our family and other Cretans.
