Cider Press Success!


We chopped, we pressed, we drank apple cider! There was talk of bobbing for apples, but it was too cold. A big thanks goes out to Brad and Mary Jo for letting us use their cider press (and for to their son for taking the first shift of pressing). Also in attendance were Bonnie, Buzzy, Cali, Carl, and Gail. In this picture, Brad and Gail feed apples into the grinder. After grinding, the pulp is pressed and the cider drains out the bottom. Don't worry, the left over apple pulp isn't attracting deer to our garden. It was all taken away by two local farmers, Nina and Alexa, to feed their pigs.
