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.
