Mission Impulpable:
Fruit Pressed Twice
Porty Press can pick, collect, clean, mill, and press apples or pears grown in Edinburgh East.
We make 100% fruit juice to support initiatives for young people. Then we press the pulp with coffee grounds for use as compost or outdoor winter fuel.
Don't let your fruit go to waste
