Happy Valley Ranch Homesteader Wine Press — Press Only
Press grapes, soft fruit or already-crushed apples using a full hardwood frame and screw assembly. This Homesteader has the single-tub pressing layout without the grinder, making it a useful choice if you already have fruit-crushing equipment or primarily work with soft fruit.
Choose the right setup for your harvest
The press squeezes prepared fruit; it does not grind it. Apples must be crushed before loading. If you need both processes in one purchase, compare the Homesteader Cider Press & Grinder. A matching grinder can be purchased separately for a compatible setup.

Before your first batch
Seal all bare wood with a suitable food-safe finish and allow it to cure before use. Finish is separate unless explicitly stated. This press-only model has its own warranty statement; the two-year wording on cider-and-grinder models is not applied here.
Warranty
Happy Valley Ranch states a one-year manufacturer guarantee for this press-only model.
Clean the press after use and follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions. Freshly pressed juice is unpasteurized; use appropriate food-handling practices for your intended storage or fermentation process.
