Steve, local farmshop sells own pressed apple juice at £2.75 (they send it to somewhere in Kent for pressing/bottling).
If we cost our apples at £1.50 p/kg then I'm guessing you're looking at 1.65 worth of apples per litre of juice = £1.24 of apples per 750ml bottle. Does that sound about right? No idea on bottle/pressing costs |

This is why I dont do apple juice to sell - for the effort and the red tape involved you hardly make enough to cover costs (unless you are huge).
There are some juicers in Devon, but they are charging around £2.20- £2.40 per bottle to juice. Pasteurisation is slow unless they are in line pasteurising and that is expensive. Ill do some juice for our apple donors and it will be pasteurised (bath pasteurised) but it dont pay me. |

I am just writing off setup costs, lpg in line pastueriser arriving next month. Need to work out labour costs etc per press & bottle run but if 100+litres it would be worth a few hours of my time. Biggest issue for me would be apple waste disposal | ||
