Apart from the Moli D'oli in Campredo does anyone know of anywhere else,non co op, that pays cash/cheque there and then for carobs.I've ordered the new Aston and in order for me to get the free insurance I need to pay cash for it.

Ok Nobby
The cheapest new DB9 is 125050.00 uk pounds, which means that at €0.15 per kg, you would need to take in 958717 kg of carobs.
Matriculation extra .
Maybe just stick to your little 2 wheeled tractor..............

Thanks Bruixot but was think somewhere Bitem/Tivenys area.

Put some through our shredder and supplemented the dogs food also a few years ago

We had a Wwoofer here a month or so ago and she insisted on making carob cake.Soooooo we ground up the carob,sieved the 'dust' and spent a couple or hours making enough flour.The cake was made and it was crap.

My donkeys will never make it all the way to Tescos.
Anyway they just love carobs raw......

In my expereience carobs can be picked upto a year(possibly longer) after they fall. It all depends on the conditions and what you want to use them for. You can easily tell if a carob is any good just by the weight and texture. Weighty and shiny is how you want them. If they are dull or black and rough and/or have no weight to them then they are no good.
If you have a tree that hasn't been harvested for awhile then dig around amongst the old and obviously useless carobs as you will be surprised at how many good ones survive underneath. For the carobs to survive any length of time they need to be in the shade and have some element of moisture under the tree. If you are planning on chopping them up for animal feed then some of the tattier carobs are fine too.
