Bring your own apples and a container to take part in a community cider pressing at Atkins Field on Granite Street in Hardwick October 2 from 11:30 to 1:30. Cider pressing will be happening behind the big granite shed in the community orchard with Bob Duggan and Josh Peets. This is a community cider press, so all apples will be combined in a big batch to make cider. Tastings will be available for anyone. This cider will be fresh and unpasteurized. Thanks to the Small Farm Guild for lending the cider press!

Please feel free to bring a picnic lunch to the event. The Hardwick Historical Society is putting on a take-out chicken barbecue starting at noon that day for $15. Feel free to take advantage of that meal and bring it to Atkins. Note that most of those meals are purchased ahead so limited quantities are available the day of the event.

This event is sponsored by Grow Your Own, a project of the Hardwick Area Food Pantry, Wonder Arts and the Center for an Agricultural Economy. The mission of Grow Your Own is to increase food independence, better health and wellbeing through shared knowledge and experience.
