By Brandi Haskett – “Deep in the heart of Southeast Texas is a 40-acre olive orchard owned and operated in Devers. Southeast Texas Olive, LLC is locally grown and produced by Randy and Ann Brazil with business partners Rhonda, Steve and Culley Devillier. What started out as the spontaneous idea of Gino Venitucci, an Italian petroleum engineer, has become a new Texas export. Although not native to the area, olives flourish in the warm gulf climate and after several years of research, Venitucci’s dream has become a reality.”
