fruit/grape press

Post by revdjtonyc »

Last year my mother deeded a 5 acre plot of land to me. Approx. 3 acres tillable, and 2 acres wooded. Last spring I planted 7 fruit trees (3 apple, 2 cherry, 1 plum, and 1 pear. Unfortunately the plum tree died (record amounts of rain fall) and a couple other trees are showing signs of not doing to good (for same reason). This spring, I plan on doing 5 to 10 more fruit trees, and running 2 to 4 varieties of grapes. It should take 3 to 5 years for anything to produce, so I have lots of time to prepare. Looking for recommendations on what would be the best type of fruit/grape press (non electric) that can deal with different types of fruit. This land is also a 2 hour drive from my current location, so something fast would be recommended. The land is in growing zone 4b, so also looking for recommendations on what else to grow. I found 2 types of peach tree will grow here, and was thinking of raspberries and blackberries.
