00:00Hello I'm Cameron Smith and I'm the manager and owner of Orchards of Husswaite
00:05which is a cider and apple juice maker. We're here in Husswaite which is known as the
00:09orchard village of North Yorkshire. We've been growing fruit for close on 300
00:14years. We started doing what we do 15 years ago and we've planted about 1,200
00:20trees which are now mature and we have the fruit from those trees plus lots of
00:26apples from within 20 miles radius of here. We produce about 25,000 litres of
00:32juice a year, some goes to apples some goes to cider and we're in mid-season
00:37at the minute with a very very good crop year, lots of apples. People can bring any
00:42quantity over 50 kilos and they'll get a comparative juice. Maybe 30-40 bottles for 50 kilos but some
00:53people bring half a tonne which obviously means they get an awful lot of juice back.
00:56Five tonne last week which was a big week so it will vary from a couple of tonne on the end of
01:04or beginning of the season to five or six tonne in the middle of the season.
01:08And what's this season be like? Superb, really really good apples, lots of them
01:13and so it makes up for last year which was a poor season.
