Before we went on our October break, we decided to harvest what was left of our grapes in the polytunnel to make grape juice using a heather press. Hannah very kindly offered to come in with her press to show the children how to use the equipment and it was tough work! The boys had to work as a team and co-ordinate their efforts in order to get the most juice possible out of the muslin that was held in the press. This involved continuing to screw the press tighter and tighter onto the block beneath. Thirsty work! but all very worth it as the grape juice was delicious – very sweet and with a hint of the honey that had been through the press before. The boys are excited to develop this idea further as part of their ACORNS enterprise next year and harvest the grapes throughout the season to make grape juice to sell.
