burrville cider mill

For anyone born and raised here, the Fall can not come to a end without a trip to the Cider Mill. Stop and hang by the falls, then inside for donuts and cider. I could not imagine having Fall and not going for the annual visit.

A must to visit if you are near Fort Drum or Watertown NY. Open in the fall (apple harvest) this little mill is lovely to see. They will show you how they press the cider, there are samples, a lovely waterfall, crafts, local cheeses and products and the famous apple cider donuts made right there in the shop! Our 4 and 3 yr old enjoyed picking out their own apples to take home!

I've heard that there are sometimes tours of the cider mill, but expect to drive to a picturesque spot on the edge of town, then wait in line at a shop. You can buy lots of kitchy souvenirs, but the big attraction is donuts and cider. The cider is very tasty, though you can buy it at many grocery stores or gas stations in the area for the same price. The donuts are wonderful.

Excellent cider and cider donuts...you know the kind with the cinnamon sugar! Super delicious on a fall day and you can tour the cider press as well as buy ton's of local items in the gift store. We bought several cookbooks and have enjoyed making the good local recipes from them, such as maple candy and apple cider cream pie.The waterfall out back of the mill is really pretty and scenic when there is water going over it. It used to power the mill back in the day before it was damned further upstream.
