2021 Pressings all done and cleared away!

We pressed around 4 tonnes of local apples this year. The 150 year old scratter, belt driven by our 1929 Lister stationary engine made short work of pulping the apples ready for loading up the cheeses on the press.
Our ancient 'Somerset Pattern' press then gracefully squeezed several hundreds of gallons of pure naturally organic apple juice.
On Saturday 23rd October, over 250 visitors attended to watch the processing of the apples into the amazing fresh juice; with many taking advantage of tasting it as it ran off the press. The ooh's, aah's and wow's were the most expressed reaction to the tasting!!! You can't beat the wonderful taste of fresh raw apple juice - nothing added, nothing taken away and no artificial processes applied to alter the flavour.
We wish to thank those who gave a donation towards our aims and took home some fresh raw apple juice to enjoy later. Those who purchased bottles of our pasteurised apple juice will of course be able to enjoy it well over a year later, while also helping us raise funds to keep the old press and machinery going. Again.... thank you for supporting us!
Date for next years festival - Saturday 22nd October 2022 Mark it on the calendar!
Take care........ Porlock Apple Press Group
