The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation of California is seeing success with its own line of olive oil products. The tribe grows olives at the Seka Hills farm and presses them into extra-virgin oil at its own mill. The oil is used by more than 200 restaurants, NPR reported, and is sold to consumers under the Seka Hills label. Seka Hills also creates its own wine and honey. Along with the olive oil, patrons can try out the products at the farm's tasting room. Get the Story:
