Mountain West Hard Cider Company and The Green Urban Lunchbox team up to make a hyperlocal hard cider and prevent food waste.
Over 5,000 pounds of apples were pressed Oct. 21, 2022, to make hard cider during the annual collaboration between Mountain West Cider and The Green Urban Lunchbox. About 300 Salt Lake County homeowners donated Grade B apples to be pressed into limited release, small-batch Green Urban Lunchbox Hard Cider with varieties of local apples from Salt Lake County.
“Green Urban Lunchbox teams up with them to utilize B-grade or imperfect apples that we harvest in our FruitShare program,” said Hannah Hoggin, who directs that program. “So every year, we take about 5,000 pounds of apples over to Mountain West, and we recruit a bunch of volunteers, and we basically have a big apple-pressing, cider-producing party.”
Carelton said that in commercial orchards, 70% of apples are sent to grocery stores for baking and eating, and fetch the highest prices. The remaining 30%, he said, go to make apple juice. Some of them are stored in GULB’s fridge on the farm; some go straight to Mountain West. Some stay in storage in South Salt Lake and then get taken over, batch by batch, week by week, to the cidery.
Volunteers wear old clothes, because they know they’ll end up getting sticky. But they know they also get to take home some fresh-pressed cider. “The bottles are capped and the CO2 that’s a natural byproduct of fermentation naturally carbonates the cider,” Carleton said. “Champagne is probably the most well-known application of bottle conditioning.”“The cider will be ready for release just before Thanksgiving,” he said. “Once this batch has been sold, there will be no more GULB until next year’s harvest.”
