Here are a few tips to help you enjoy the day.

1. Start at the info booth on Grandview Drive to get your picking bags and press coupon. If you’ve adopted a tree, we’ll help you find it. If not, why not consider adopting one--the returns are delicious!

2.Pick apples from any tree in the orchard except taped trees (for preschool tours).No home grown apples allowed to prevent the spread of disease. Please limit your pickings so everyone has a chance to enjoy the day.

3.Plastic jugs are available for purchase for $1

4. Wash Stations -All apples must be washed prior to squeezing. You can wash up to two milk crates full of apples at one time.

5. Press area-Take the two milk crates of washed apples to the pressing area. Present your coupon(see below) to the cider press operator.  Each family will get one pressing per time(up to one gallon or two milk crates). The amount of cider will vary based on the size of the press and juiciness of the apples. Feel free to take extra apples home to enjoy. If you want to squeeze again, please get another coupon from the information booth before you get back into line.

It is highly recommended to boil or pasteurize raw apple juice/cider before drinking to destroy any armful bacteria. Refrigerate and drink within five days or freeze for later use.
