Apple Pressing Day
A great interactive day for Woodland Fairs, Events and Open Days. We bring all the equpment and get interactive with visiting families for a great fun and practical day showing how wonderful it is to make freshly pressed apple juice in the autumn. We try and get visitors as hands on as possible. They love it! It does get a bit sticky but that does not put them off.
We also mull the juice at the end of the afternoon to warm us up a little!
We also enthuse about preserving our own juice, cider, drying apple rings, making wines,jams and chutneys with excess apples and vegetables.
For schools:
Our Apple Day is proving to be very popular. I work with my wife, Elaine. This would be based upon 3 classes 90 children with the help of some volunteer parents/governors to help with the cutting. Firstly we ask the school in advance to get the children and families to bring in some apples. It is very important that as a family the apples are actually picked from family and friends trees, ideally half a dozen apples each child. Seasonal appreciation is far richer than queuing in a supermarket! Linking in with mathematics we encourage the children to weigh/estimate the apples at the start before they get chopped and turned into juice and then weigh the end results of juice and pulp too. Also turning the juice into frozen ice lollies to be eaten that day demonstrating the science link of reversal/irreversible change. Approximate apples needed would be between 220 250 lbs (100 110 kgs).
The price includes the Apple press and crusher, chopping boards, knives etc, apple twisters, ice lolly containers, back up apples and enough fresh juice for every class to have a jug (depending on size of school).
Mileage to be added at W.S.C.C. rate.
We can provide local apples pre-washed @ 40p per pound or 90p per kg.
