Pick fruit when it is firm, prior to fully ripening. When the seeds are turning from brown to white is optimum.
You’ll get more and better juice when you pick them early.
Do not use windfall apples from the ground.
Make sure the pears are not ripe. They must be pre-ripe or they will not release the juice and will turn to mush.
Bring the fruit in as soon as you can after picking Wash your fruit, remove leaves and branches.
Pack fruit in 5 gallon containers or milk crates.
Roughneck containers are too big and heavy to lift.
Bring your own containers for juice if you like.
