As the last golden days of August give way to the crisp promise of fall, there’s no better time to raise a glass of hard cider—especially from a family-run orchard in Upstate New York, now ranked the best in America.
Fly Creek Cider Mill & Orchard, just west of Cooperstown, was awarded the title of Best Cidery in the United States by readers of USA TODAY.
The charming country farm began producing non-alcoholic cider in 1856 and visitors can still see cider being pressed from their original 1889 apple press, producing over 20,000 gallons each fall.
In 2002 the Mill started to offer hard ciders, apple wines and apple pie moonshine. They have a new tasting room that serves tasting flights and ciders by-the-glass.
Over 100,000 visitors come to the campus each year to taste their delicious wares like fudge, New York State cheese, homemade pies, dumplings and their apple cider doughnuts. Try their signature cider float made with French vanilla ice cream, cider and ginger ale.
The fresh-pressing season will kick off on September 12 with the arrival of the apple harvest. The Mill is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the season will run through December.
