With the stress of school and work John and I haven't had a ton of time for fun lately. This week my brother Nick came to town so my family planned a few fun activities to do with him. Monday night was especially fun. My dad's friend Gary owns a farm in Milleville where he grows all kinds of produce, including a variety of different kinds of apples. My mom also grows apples so last year we decided to combine forces and make some cider. It was so successful we decided to do it again this year. Luckily, we had more helping hands this year!
We started with these beauties! He had bushels and bushels and bushels for us to smash!
Then we placed a variety of different apples in baskets to be washed before pressing.
Then we sorted through and threw out the wormy ones
Then they went into the press where they were crushed into pulp. Then the strong members of the family turned the wheel that pressed the pulp into juice
Good times all around.
