Community Apple Cider Pressing

Event: 
Sat, 09/12/2009 - 10:00am - 12:00pm

Gather at Hampden Park, across the street from the co-op. Bring apples! Bags and bags of apples! A mix of varieties works well; bruised apples are sweeter, so windfalls are especially welcome. Be prepared to wash apples,remove bad spots, turn the crank, and taste the results.

You will be able to take some cider according to the quantity of apples you contribute. Bring glass or plastic jugs with lids. Co-op member Elizabeth Barnard will provide a cider press, related supplies, and instruction. (Just a note: "cider" sometimes refers to hard cider. We are making fresh-pressed juice, no alcoholic content.)

Children are welcome! R.S.V.P. to Steve Anthony at rsantho@yahoo.com.
