Apple Harvest! The apples have started to fall to the ground by themselves so, we called friends and family to help harvest all of them. Our dear friends, Larry and Linda Pointer answered our call for help.
All of us picked apples in the morning resulting in 60 gallons of apples harvested this year. There is a half-water barrel and 9 buckets full of apples to put on the tractor. 
You can see what that many apples look like with Larry, Pete, and Max just outside of the garden.
Our trial run with Rachel and her boys (grandkids) last week showed us that the trough underneath the press created a leak at the spout. A modification was needed so the juice would not creep back underneath the spout missing the bucket set under it. You can see more about what I am talking about and the makeshift repair (tin foil) that we used in this previous post.
Hopefully, we are all set up and ready to get to work. Pete has made the modification it needed, then checked, and lubed it all up. So, here we go!
Can’t wait to taste the best fresh juice on the planet from our apple harvest 2022.
