‘HOW TO’ AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS
There will be no charge for crushing your apples, but the adult £5 entrance fee will apply.
If you are bringing apples from your garden or local orchards for crushing, please note these essential instructions and terms and conditions:
You must bring your own sterilised containers for the apple juice (health and safety requirement). They can be glass bottles, but also plastic bottles re-used. They will definitely need to be properly sterilised if you want the juice to last (have a look on the internet re. method - but it is simple). Glass bottles (in fridge) may be OK to last for about 3 days. You can freeze plastic containers of the juice up to 3 months. Sterilising is absolutely your responsibility.
Apples must be delivered/brought washed and in clean bags (12kg maximum per family which will make about 4 litres of apple juice). We are able to start cutting the apples and crushing them with you from 11am (before the gates open to the public at 12 and after that).
You can deliver them to the top of our car park (labelled and weighed) to drop off from 11am, but you must take your car off-site and park in village car park before returning for the fun. As a guide, 3 kilos of apples will make about 1 litre of juice. Your apples will be crushed with others as a necessary part of the general process. No less delicious though!
They really must be washed prior to bringing. If you would like the variety separately to be identified by our experts, please save a couple and bring with a bit of branch and a leaf or two and go see them in the village hall after 12.
Hope you enjoy the day!
