The first press of apples

The days are shortening fast and harvest festival is coming… time to dig out the apple press and test it works.

At Corbenic, the change of seasons are marked by familiar, annual tasks. Today in House Garden, the apple press dusted down and tested with the first press of apples.

Tree guards were put in place but so much damage had been done that it was uncertain which trees would survive. Fortunately the trees have recovered and have produced lots of apples.
