The third stop on Mike and Jesss Fall Fun Day is B.F. Clydes Cider Mill, the oldest steam-powered cider mill in the United States!
They have numerous apple products available (such as donuts and other pastries) and make their own wines, hard cider, and non-alcoholic cider. If youre not up for buying any products, you can always stop by the tasting tent to try dixie cups of their drinks! If watching the process is more your speed, you can catch the press in action on weekends around 10am.
Weve learned that parking can be an issue, so carpool if possible since youll most likely be parking on the side of the road. Also, beware of bees.
Clydes is open from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. 7 days a week during their season which opens around September 1st!
If you're looking for the BEST cider donut there is, be sure to check out The Hard Pressed Cider Company in Jamestown. Though these donuts were initially found during Christmas Tree hunting at Farmer's Daughter, we discovered that you can get these donuts in Jamestown between Labor Day and Thanksgiving! They also serve up warm apple cider, chilled apple cider, and hot chocolate!
While you're there, be sure to visit the numerous farm animals they have and take a peek at the beautiful view of the Newport Bridge!
