So Live out in central Massachusetts. We recently bought a home and it came with 2 fruit trees out back, a pear tree and an apple tree, and to our surprise the pear tree grew a ton of pears our first fall. So I figured I would put some time into helping the fruit trees out and it's paid out in some decent apples and an even greator harvest of healthier looking pears. over 200lbs and we still haven't picked them all.
This leads to my predicament, Last time we canned a bunch of sauce but that was only about 50lbs and wow was that a lot of work! Well I have all the equipment for fermenting beer from my tinkering with beer brewing so if I can just get my hands on a mill and a press I could ferment a large amount of the pears and take a load off canning that many.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer I need to find one within 2 weeks. Yes, I know, very poor planning.

Does any one know of where I could either buy or rent or even borrow a Mill and Press for pears and apples that within 2 hours of central mass?
