Yates Cider Mill, Water-powered cider mill in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
The mill processes multiple apple varieties using a water-powered turbine system, producing fresh cider through a traditional pressing method on the ground floor.
Established in 1863 as a grist mill, the facility transformed into Yates Cider Mill in 1876 when operators installed a cider press into the water-powered system.
Local families gather at the mill during autumn months to watch the cider-making process, enjoy fresh donuts, and participate in seasonal activities along Clinton River.
The facility operates daily from September through November, offering cider, baked goods, maple syrup, and fudge, with guided tours available on weekdays by appointment.
The mill maintains its original 26-inch water turbine from 1894, which enables the production of 300 gallons of preservative-free cider per hour during peak season.
