Here are pictures from our trip out to the Cider Press at Rolling Acres near St. Jacobs, Ontario.  It’s a 20 minute drive from our house and we’ve been there three times this fall.  You can read about our trip here .

The press is in the silver building on the left.
The apples are rinsed first.

Up the shoot to the sprayer.

Getting sprayed off.

Up a conveyor to be macerated (chopped)

Down from the chopper to the press.

The pressed cider is sent to a barrel to be measured to determine cost.

Finally it is bagged if you wish, or sent to your bucket.
