Community Harvest Pressing

Commercial-scale apple juice processing for households and growers.

2026 Harvest Season
Apple Juice Pressing Only

For the 2026 season, West Coast Pressed is focused exclusively on apple juice production as we transition facilities and refine our operational structure.

We will not be producing hard cider this year. Please check back for future updates.

Booking Required Before Picking

Appointments must be secured before apples are picked.

Harvest season fills quickly and books weeks in advance. Once scheduled, your appointment can be adjusted within our production calendar if your apples are ready earlier or later than your appointment.

We are typically unable to accommodate last-minute drop-offs.
If you have an urgent situation, please call directly to inquire.

How Yield & Pricing Works

Juice is packaged in 5L food-grade bags and boxed with a pour spout for easy use.

20 lbs of apples yields approximately 1 × 5L box

Pricing (per 5L box + GST)

  • 120–500 lbs apples — $16.95

  • 500–1,000 lbs apples — $15.95

  • 1,000+ lbs apples — $14.95

If apples produce more juice than estimated, additional boxes are charged accordingly.

Minimum booking: 120 lbs
No maximum volume

We do not press into customer containers or produce unpasteurized juice.

Exceptions may be considered for licensed distilleries, wineries, and cider makers.
