Market Farming

[dave.kathy AT att.net]

When I lived in Colorado, the city of Applewood would have a ciderfest every 
fall, where folks with cider presses would come in and everybody would make 
wonderful cider.  The kids loved to turn the cranks, and everybody drank lots 
of apple juice and had a great time.  A local stable would pick up the 
pressed pulp for horse feed, so it was a big success all around.  Of course, 
this was sponsered by a municipality, presumably who had appropriate 
insurance, but it was a highlight of the year in Applewood, which we all 
remember fondly.
If you can work out the insurance angle, I'd say do it!  Ought to generate 
lotsa good vibes...
