How to produce fresh Asturian Apple Juice
After 2 days of picking tons of apples in our orchard we spent a whole day producing fresh apple juice with the help of our friend Lorena. We could make use of the installation at a farm in the valley.
The process of making apple juice in short: picking, sorting, washing, crushing, pressing, sterilizing, and bottling.
Watch Rob, Lorena and Elvira producing a staggering 70 bottles of apple juice in one day! Nb: Our apple juice tastes really good!!
Forest Bathing - Regenerate your Spirit in Nature
Forest bathing is a proven Japanese therapy to improve health and restore peace of mind. Join Elvira and Peggy in this short movie on a forest bating trip in the lush nature of Asturias.
Forest bathing is about opening up all your senses to nature; seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, and reconnecting with nature.
Curious to know if Peggy enjoyed her first forest bathing experience? Watch the vlog we made for you!
