So apparently Vancouver island has a mobile cider-press-and-sterile-boxing operation that A&E have been using for several years; they pick all their own apples, round up everyone willing to bring apples, and host so the van will come out, press, and then box everyone's apple juice. It will probably cost a little more to get them to come a few more hours but still. That service exists. And then the juice is shelf-stable for six months or so!
The coast has a deeply Mediterranean climate: wet for months (8-9) and dry for the summer (though still relative cool there). A corn that ripens in late September or October will be trying to dry down in daily rain; a corn that's short-season enough to ripen in August will probably not see a drop of rain all month. So I'm hoping they still grow, and then fit well into that seasonal pattern.
