Apples in a Crate

Apple Pressing Service

We are opening for the 2026 season on Thursday 6th August.

NEW FOR 2026 - We now have an online reservation system so please ensure you have a reservation before travelling to the farm.

If you have your own apple tree or even a small orchard, why not press your apples into your very own apple juice? It's a great way to preserve your fruit and reduce waste.

With our apple pressing service, your fruit is pressed and bottled by us. Simply drop off your fruit, choose your personalised label and we will do the rest. 

Based in Princes Risborough (HP27 9NJ) we are your local apple pressing service for Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Bedfordshire, Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire. Don't let your fruit go to waste, we turn your excess apples and pears into your very own delicious bottles of juice. 

What do we press?

  • Apples

  • Pears

  • De-stemmed Grapes​

How Does The Apple Pressing Service Work?

How Does It Work 1 - Pick Your Fruit

Pick Your Fruit

Pick your apples when they're ripe & make sure there's no rotten fruit in your containers when you bring them to us. 

Make your reservation HERE to drop off your fruit

How Does It Work 3 - Hand Sorting

Hand Sorting

We hand sort your apples / pears on our sorting table (making sure there's no rotten fruit which would ruin your juice). We then wash them so they're clean. 

How Does It Work 5

Bottling

We don't filter away any of the goodness in your juice nor do we add any nasty preservatives, water or sugar. We add a bit of Vitamin C so the juice keeps its lovely colour.

How Does It Work 2 - Drop Off Fruit

Drop Off

We label your apples in their own containers so we know they're yours.

 

You also choose your label design from our options and decide what you'll call it on the label.

How Does It Work 4

Apple Pressing

Your apples are milled and pressed into their own containers. We do not mix your juice with anyone else's so we guarantee your juice is yours and yours only (unless you opted for the community press)

How Does It Work 6 - Collection

Collection

When bottled, we add your personalised colour label and then we let you know your juice is ready to collect.

Payment is due on collection and we take cards & cash.
