Pressing Charges

Pressing is charged at $2.50 per finished litre.
Yields can vary from 400ml per kg to 700ml per kg.

We will buy back up to 50% of the finished juice at $2.90 per litre.
We reserve the right not to purchase the juice if the quality of the fruit is poor.

Bottling & Pasteuruisation

We can supply 750ml bottles for $1 each and closures for $0.50 each
For $0.66 we will pasteurise your juice, making it stable in the bottle for one year plus.

Therefore:
A pressing producing 100 litres of juice would cost $250.00

To bottle and pasteurise the 100 litres (132 bottles) would cost you $285.12

You would take home 130 x 750ml bottle of juice at a total cost of $535.12
or $4.05 per bottle.

If you sell us half of the juice, you will recieve 66 x 750ml bottles at a cost of $247.50
or $3.75 per bottle.

The pasteurised juice has a shelf life of over a year if unopened.
Alternately you could save money by bringing your own plastic containers and freezing the juice.

Would you like to make cider or wine from your juice?

We can supply you with a kit and instruction to turn your juice into cider or wine at home. Each kit consists of 2 x fermenting vessels (one for racking into), an air lock and enough yeast to ferment 25 litres of cider.
