A Pressing Issue - The Apples Board



See previous blog Effordless Apples for links to Growsheffield sites for some images.

Above are some presses. You can focus on the apples themselves in all their round varieties if you like.
Some stats:
Apples harvested Middlewood (AMC + JS) transport (see below) 1 trip
Apples harvested from Plants for a Future, Higher Penpol, Fowey Estuary
(http://www.pfaf.org/cornwall/index.php) transport to Middlewood (32 miles) then Middlewood to Plymouth
Apple Press picked up from North Devon (need to get figures)
Apples pressed in Efford, Plymouth – some energy used for crushing and pasteurizing.
More apples coming from Combeinteighnhead in Devon.
You could go down the map route showing Penpol, Combeinteighnhead and Efford and Plymouth.
Cider – still sourcing
As ever you don't have to be literal to get it across. Hand to apple to press to squash to lovely amber juice. Juice miles.
