Cedar Creek Grist Mill Apple Pressing


(Click for large photo of Apple Washer)
What do you need to have an Apple Pressing? Start with a whole lot of apples, then add more than 3 dozen volunteers to process about 8,000 pounds of apples into Apple Cider!

The Cedar Creek Grist Mill has it's Annual Apple Pressing the last Saturday in October. The day will start at 9:00 in the morning and will end at 5:00 PM or when there are no apples left, and all the apple cider is gone.
Yes it's a whole lot of work, but it's a whole lot of fun too! into_the_grinder.jpg (46318 bytes)

The event will press 8,000 pounds of apples into cider and is open to the public. Everyone is encouraged to get involved.
The rumbling of the water powered belt and pulley system, the dimly lighted mill, the floor covered with sawdust and the sweet smell of the fresh pressed apple juice makes an atmosphere that will put a smile on the faces of all visitors.
Come down, join the fun and take home a jug of fresh pressed apple cider.
