Cider Pressing and Tree Chopping


Transformations: from apple and tree to cider and wood. Quantities of apples are pressed, producing juice that is put into barrels to become cider, the waste – apple mash – collected in sacks for animal feed. The fir tree is chopped down and cut into logs which are transported to a small saw mill where they become planks.
