Cold Hollow Cider Mill

Over in Waterbury, Vermont, we stopped in for a visit at the Cold Hollow Cider Mill.  There, we had the opportunity to learn about the process for pressing apples to make delicious apple cider.  After the learning tour, there was the tasting part.  They had a large barrel/vat of cold cider with a tap for pouring samples into our cups.  It was so delicious!  I liked that it was not sweetened.  Being one of those unusual folks who prefers unsweetened coffee and tea (and applesauce and yogurt), I much prefer unsweetened cider.  I really should have bought some; but the cooler was occupied by cheese. 

They also had a display on bees, with an actual section of hive protected from curious hands (and curious hands protected from bee stings). 


The cider donuts were yummy, too. 

This is an older press.  They use state of the art equipment today.
