I drafted this post 2 weeks ago, and was waiting to take a picture .... but you know what happens when you wait......

 Winter is fast approaching...we had our first snowflakes this morning!  Brrr.

Monday we got the last of the apples pressed and ended up with  4 quarts of the best apple cider you could imagine.  Seriously, this cider is so good!  It tastes like you are actually eating an apple instead of drinking one.  The flavor is so strong and dense.  It makes all other apple cider pale by comparison.  We are beginning to wonder why the apple cider we have bought at the store is so weak!


[ I had  planned to insert a picture of the lovely mason jars filled with the nectar of the gods....but alas, we drank all the cider before I could do it!  It  was too good!!!]

We are excited about next fall.  We are planning to build a better press, and find an easier, more high volume way to chop the apples up next year.  After all with all the trees at the farm, and in our yard, we could can 100 quarts easily!   Wait 'til you taste it!  You'll want to come visit us for the cider alone!
