A friend of mine is planning to plant some apple trees (not sure what variety) and use the apples to produce juice. It is something that is quite feasible to do on a cottage-industry basis at home. The kit needed is simple and cheap.

The UK is full of juice trees. I think there is a better market for desert apples at the moment. Grocers can't buy enough home grown eating apples.
