Please note - your apples will be checked before we accept them and we will turn away anything under ripe. The pips need to be all dark brown for the apples to be fully ripe. You can check for ripeness by picking an apple straight from the tree (NOT off the ground) and cut it in half - if any of the pips are still white, milk chocolate colour, or mottled they are not ripe or ready to pick - the apples need more time on the tree for the fruit sugars to fully develop and the fruit to swell in size (the bonus is that bigger fruit = more juice back!). Our pressing season will start early September so we will not be booking in any apple drop-off slots any earlier than Saturday 3 September. there is always a few genuine exceptions.), most apples in our area are not ready before the start of September (maybe even later this year thanks to the very cold spring) - and dependent on the variety they may not ripen until October, or even November. just because some of your apples are falling and you're happy cooking them into a crumble, it does not mean they are ripe and ready to pick - or ready to turn into juice! and before anything else, they MUST be ripe! Don't be fooled by our gorgeously changeable weather and the effect it's had on fruit this year. Sadly, for obvious reasons we have been unable to do this for the last few seasons - our working area is just too small - so we ran private booked slots for apple drop offs - which worked so well we're keeping them for this year - albeit with (fingers crossed!) some great public events alongside. part of what we do is cram as many people into our very small Applery and get them hands-on and involved in making apple juice. school sessions, private groups, volunteers, you, your kids, your Nana.
