It’s apple season and the press is open! If you’d like to turn your apples into fresh juice (or ferment into cider), we’re offering apple pressing at Beautiful Field Farm.
Pressing window: Wednesdays & Thursdays, 10:00–4:00 (please reach out to schedule).
I’m batching sessions because cleaning the machine is a big job—grouping pressings keeps things smooth and affordable.
Other times can be considered if needed—just ask.
$50 per press cycle (up to ~90 L of apples per cycle).
Press capacity: ~90 L of apples per batch (about 5 full 5-gal buckets).
Typical extraction: Apples yield ~50–60% juice by weight.
Handy estimates:
1 grocery bag (8–12 lb / ~4–5 kg) → ~2–3 L juice
1× 5-gal bucket of apples (~18–20 kg) → ~8–10 L juice
1 press cycle (≈5 buckets) → ~30–40 L juice
Bottling quick math:
10 L ≈ 13 × 750 mL bottles
30 L ≈ 40 × 750 mL bottles
40 L ≈ 53 × 750 mL bottles
Your clean, food-safe containers (jugs, buckets, carboys, etc.) for the juice you’re taking home.
Clean apples: please rinse and ensure they are free of sticks, leaves, debris, and any moldy fruit. (Small blemishes are fine; spoiled fruit can affect the whole batch.)
Juice is unpasteurized—enjoy fresh, freeze, or ferment into cider.
A mix of sweet + tart apples generally gives the best flavor.
Reply to this email to book your slot (and include roughly how many buckets/bags you’re bringing so I can schedule batches efficiently).
See you at the press!
