The owner’s passion for his business overflows throughout and is a real inspiration. Wonderful and informative moment. Trying to go when the old mill wheel is running would be even better. Includes a tasting session at the end and highly recommend the cider and the traditional hard cider.

Wonderful Tour with the owner
This place has great history and there is much more to it than we imagined. Mr Michaels gave us a great tour and we got to see how the water runs the turbine and all the old leather straps drive the press. Who knew there so many apple varieties. Lots to do, very friendly.
A must see when in the area!

Our tour with the owner was fascinating, he took us through the complete process of cider pressing along with a tasting of their homemade fudge,cookies and pies. We ended in the tasting beverage room were a flight of some very tasty cider inspired spirits were available. A must try is their cider slushy and bloody Mary.

We always have a good time touring this place. This year with Covid, no samples like usual, but still a great place to visit for various food items and of course apples and cider

A Friday at Fly creek I have been coming here here for about twenty years . My family always enjoyed ducks to feed cute things for the children . Great snacks and samples for all inside the store and great seasonal things upstairs , well not anymore , now I understand during these times that the snacks had to go but the customer service at check out was very rude . We spent well over a hundred dollars on all the goodies . But that will be the last time there . We bought Carmel apples that were so disappointing they used to be my favorite. . I sure hope things pickup area favorite in the past.
