As we anxiously await our new mobile juicing trailer en-route from Austria, we want to take the opportunity to tell you a little bit about it!
Did you know that we have a BIN-DUMPER this year? No more back-breaking shoveling! It does mean, however, that if you want to mix apple varieties, you will need to pre-mix in each bin as it is all dumped in one go. It also means being diligent about selecting good fruit as picking out rotten ones before pressing is considerably harder. From there, the apples float in a big basin of water before going up the elevator, so they get a good wash too.bin tipper
A bigger press and two settlement tanks lead us to a 900L/hr pasteurizer and on to the packaging end. We will be running a higher capacity this year (3-4 bins/hr), so challenge us with as many bins as you can! As always, we ask for your continued flexibility and generosity when we invite others to join in on your juicing day, or ask that you join us at another nearby location. We try to maximize juicing days to get everyone in during the short season! Having a few extra hands around on your juicing day is always nice to make sure everything runs smoothly, especially now that it is even faster.
Evans farm will be happy to show this new juicer working on the farm at road 15 Tuesday all day
This concept of juicing on the farm presents an opportunity for growers to make use of non commercial varieties and give the public a pure juice certified by Interior Health and Canadian Food and Inspection Agency.
