  • Fall has arrived! We spent a day with our friends on St. Joseph Island pressing apples fresh from their apple trees. We use the cider to make hard apple cider as well as home made apple scrap vinegar and preserved apple juice using a water bath canner. Now we'll have apple everything for quite a while!

    When I was living with someone on a small holding we raised several pigs. We had walnut trees, apples and pear trees and they got several cooked meals from off cuts of veggies from the veg plot. The pork was out of this world. It was absolutely delicious.. so pigs munching on apples will taste amazing.

    Take one of your 5 gallon buckets and cut bottom out. Then slide over press it will keep all the juice that squirts out sides from being wasted. You should experiment with the depth of screws in your apple grinder to become efficient also b

      @@Wilderstead I lived and spent time in Thunder Bay and Wawa. Beautiful land up there. I learned to enjoy winter there but every part of Canada has its gems. You may know this but if you cover late season carrots in lots of straw/insulated tarps then snow blankets them and then you can dig out fresh sweet carrots into winter. (As long as rodents don't bury under the insulation!)
