Not all apples are created equal when it comes to juicing. Here are some varieties that work well:
Granny Smith: Tart and crisp, perfect for a refreshing juice.
Fuji: Sweet and juicy, great for a sweeter blend.
Gala: Mildly sweet, ideal for mixing with other varieties.
Prepare for the Weather
Since our events are outdoors, it’s essential to check the weather forecast. Bring along sunscreen, hats, or umbrellas as needed. Dressing in layers can also help you stay comfortable throughout the day.
