Fresh cider flows at the Gardener’s Market

Capp Connors has been pressing bushels of apples at the Blaine Gardener’s Market the last few Saturdays, working up to Blaine’s Oktoberfest celebration. The Gardener’s Market will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on October 8 and Connors will have a demonstration of the process people can follow to easily and safely make their own apple cider, from cleaning the apples to extracting juice using a yard chipper and a homemade hydraulic press.
