BOCO Cider’s First Press of Boulder County Apples
Mission:
Rescue local apples from waste by turning them into hard cider
Help neighbors by collecting their apples before they rot on the ground
Prevent apples from attracting bears and insects
Step # 1
You harvest clean ripe residential apples between Sunday, Sept. 12 and Sunday Sept. 19 and call/text owner Mike at 720-938-7285:
Signs of ripeness include a few fallen apples, brown seeds & easy twist removal.
Apples are not ripe if the seeds are white (or light tan) and/or apples are hard to remove.
Apples may not have any rot, dirt, bruises, or skin breakage. A few closed worm holes are OK.
Apples may not be picked from the ground.
Collect apples in clean containers like buckets, crates or boxes
