Thank you to Lady Godiva for taking pictures of some of our exhibitors at the Cloisters demo.

With autumnal crispness in the air, now is the time for cider-making! Whether you harvested apples at the Provincial farm outing or bartered for them at a local market, join us for a hands-on session of mashing and pressing them for juice.

Thorfinn Hróthgeirsson has a cider press and has graciously offered to host a workshop at his home on Sunday, October 30, at 2:00 PM.

We’ll all work together to process the apples and share the combined juice. Please bring some apples and a large-enough container to take hone your juice; expect one gallon per 16-20 pounds of apples, or roughly one cup for every 3 apples.

Thorfinn will provide the equipment, and may be able to provide yeast for fermenting it if you desire. (If you would like to walk away with fermenting equipment, notify him in advance.)
