This year we are trying something new.
Using a small cider press,
and lots of help from the children, 
we are pressing each of our individual varieties of apples separately. 
As the trees have ripened each variety has been pressed, bottled in half gallon jugs, labeled them appropriately and stored in the freezer. Now, with just a bit more planning and spreadsheet making to do, we’ll be ready to offer them for sale.
Heirloom apple juice, ready to drink or blend into unique mixes for home cider brewing!
Behind the Willows 
I have such fond memories of living in the mountains of Virginia and going out to friends’ orchards in the fall to pick and press apples with my children. They were heirloom varieties I’ve never had since and (in our memories anyway) those apples made the best cider ever.
I wish I could stop by for a taste of your cider!
Well, if you happen to stumble over to Wisconsin I’d be happy to share- just don’t come in a car like the one on your last vacation! 🙂
Alas, my days of car blogging are probably at an end… We joined this millennium by buying a new car–warranty and all. So boring.
A warranty? While I wonder what that strange a mythical sounding does I feel like it’s probably not going to be as exciting as a car without! 😉
That sounds delicious!
We think so! Labels have been created and posters made now we just have to hope others think so too!!! 🙂
I’m guessing that you will do well with this.
