Rappahannock’s hills abound with apples, and where there are apples there is bound to be cider.
Family, friends and employees at Williams Orchard near Flint Hill put the squeeze on bushels of various kinds of apples last week to produce gallons and gallons of the tart juice for sale to thirsty customers.
Fate of the fruit begins with picking, of course, then a trip to the Williams’ crusher, where the apples are mashed. The mash is pumped onto trays that are stacked on a press in racks.
Under pressure, 20 bushels of apples makes 60 gallons of cider. On the night we visited, the Williams produced 300 gallons from Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Stayman, Winesap and York varieties.
