This year with the bee's help we were blessed with our largest bounty from the Lord yet. We estimated 600 pounds of apples harvested and probably another 200 pounds that had dropped to the ground before we got to them. (They went to the compost). Our kitchen was filled with apples for several weeks but we finally got caught up.
These are not the same ones in the previous picture. We used Christine's old bedroom as a overflow storage coldroom. Each tub is approximately 75 to 80 pounds.
The press arrived after some delay but we quickly got started on the cider. So far we have made several gallons of cider. Joyce has been putting up cases of apple sauce, apple pie filling, apple butter and sliced apples. Also the pastry shop (Joyce's Kitchen) has made apple pie's, apple cake, and apple donuts.o
Tony was busy after the harvest, painting the trees to get ready for winter.
