Crushing Grapes

September 2010

The SLI's permaculture site is flush with food in every nook and cranny. Fall is "harvest" time in Mendo. Our site has several varieties of grape and we had a small window of time to pick them for perfect sweetness. With hectic schedules we all cleared our calendars and spent two days gathering as many grapes as we could to take to the old-fashioned press. We headed to Gini's house and each took turns crushing and pressing until we had 20 gallons of fresh grape juice. What a sugar rush! Mott's you can't compete.
