. . . From the site: The Cider Mill and pick-your-own apple venture has been a huge success! We planted the last section of our orchard this spring and expect our apple harvest to be much bigger this year! The Harvest Moon Cider Mill at Critz Farms will open its doors on Saturday, September 19th, this year. Sweet apple cider will be pressed on an antique Boomer & Boschert, 48″ x 48″ four screw press. The press, circa 1890′s, was made in Syracuse, NY, and was originally used at a water powered cider mill in Pennsylvania. We acquired the press in 2006 and have made significant renovations to meticulously and authentically restore it. The press is line shaft driven and is currently powered by an electric motor. Visitors can watch all the steps of the cider production and will be intrigued by the noisy series of conveyor belts, gears, and belts used to move the apples through the process of being washed, ground, spread, pressed, UV treated, and bottled to produce farm fresh delicious sweet apple cider.
