Apples, Apples and more Apples.

Every other year we have a huge apple crop.

What to do with all those apples. 

If you live in this little town you can take them to the Post Office and leave them by the door.  

Soon they will have found a new home.  

I'll get the ladders out and invite my friends and neighbors. 

The pig farmer gathers the fallen apples

and the deer take care of the rest.  

 The apple press is rolled out again. 

It's easier going if we first cut up the apples into smaller pieces.  

 The most intensely flavored and concentrated apple juice  is the result. 

The light frost made them sweet and ready to pick.

Have you seen this little wonder of an apparatus?

It peels, cores and slices, all with one motion, apples and pears and potatoes.

And pears already picked.

For the perfect pear pie. 

 There are many more apples to pick and/or press.  

Have a lovely week my dear friends.

An Apple a day and then some

We've had a bumper crop.

Of apples this year.

They'll make delicious apple juice.

The light frost made them sweet and ready to pick.



We'll make a few gallons of Apple Juice.

Cranked by hand, cut up apples are chopped into smaller pieces. 

Then moved to this side to be pressed.

Many more apples growing on our trees.

And more pears already picked.

Some we'll keep in the barn.

Some we'll bring into the house. 

Snow is predicted for tomorrow and there are many more apples to press. 

Want to help?

Have a lovely week my dear friends.
