They do everything themselves - grow, mill, press, ferment and bottle. And they do it the old fashion way because, for them, it is the only way it ought to be done.
So this Victorian press which they have transported all the way to the Ludlow festival is not novelty and for a bit of attention. It's what they do every day. Anyone who wants to see it in action can do so at the mill. They won't be rolling it out specially because someone is probably using it already.

And they are looking for more traditional presses, mills and other equipment so they can increase their production. I think it's cool they didn't choose to ring up someone and place an order for a huge gleaming piece of metal instead.
