Clyde's Cider Mill

Old Mystic, CT

Visited Clyde's Cider Mill yesterday.  This is a very seasonal business, but extremely popular at this time of the year.  The mill operates from Labor Day until Christmas and features a steam powered cider press which is pretty impressive to watch.  They sell good sweet cider, and a number of varieties of hard cider, along with specialty foods, baked goods, and of course, cider donuts.  We were able to go on a Friday.  When the weather is nice on weekends, this place is really hopping and it's hard to find a place to park nearby.  It's a perfect place to spend an autumn afternoon.  The mill itself was closed today for cleaning, so I couldn't get any pictures of the press in operation.  I was able to get some pics of the machinery through an open door.
