(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) 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.
