Coco's (Conderton & Overbury Community Orchard's) first apple day was a huge success! Thank you very much for all the support
First we picked the fruit. A lot was picked earlier but there was still fruit on the trees

The apples (& some pears) needed washing first
Then Farmer Jake (and others) fed the machine with fruit to be cut up
The fruit was cut up and added to the press and then the fruit was pressed into juice
The juice was poured into bottles & containers (some will be frozen)
The bottles were put out to sell
Money was counted (to pay Kemerton Orchard Group who kindly brought their press)
The buckets were washed & we all went home
