Apple cider pressing

We went apple cider pressing at our CSA farm, the Red Fire farm...2 weekends ago. ahem

first you grab 2 bushels of apples from the large bins
then you grind all those apples up in the grinder
passing apples to mom or dad was a favored event
then you wait for your turn with the press, try going to the pick your own aisles

when its your turn: pour in the ground up apples

then you press the ground up apples through a blanket

pressing the cider



into the jar then strained into our 5 gallon bucket


some of us mostly slept, and ate and looked adorable...
