Juice It

Our custom built juicer arrived from Germany in the fall of 2017. It can wash, grind, juice, pasteurize & bag 1500lbs of apples/pears per hour. In addition to pressing apples for hard cider, this year we are able to offer a juicing service and press your fruit into fresh pasteurized juice. The juice lasts 6 months without refrigeration!

Any apple variety found in the Cowichan Valley is suitable for juicing. You can also mix apple varietals. Fruit trees are loaded this year, we are set for a very busy season. Please call the store 250-748-8440 if you’ve any questions.
