Fly Creek Cider Mill & Orchard
Reviews
JUST AMAZING! Fun and Yummy Food and Drinks with lots of covered outdoor seating to eat there. Great shop to get food, drinks, and gifts to go! Plenty of parking and Family Friendly Prices and FUN. Bring the kids. Plan to spend at least an hour or more!
Fly Creek does have a huge marketplace store which includes at least a hundred different dip mixes (sampling is encouraged), all sorts of james and creamed honey and hot sauces and salsas, cake and bread mixes, apples, fudge, and yes local cheeses (I really liked the Applewood Smoked Sharp Cheddar). It was a lot of fun snacking through, trying so many products of New York state. They also have various fruit wines and hard ciders. Nothing says fall to me as much as fresh apple cider- and the pamphlet even offers you coupon for a free tasting of an apple cider slushie! They also had a back area where you could feed geese and ducks. The kid in me was so so thrilled to have them nubbing out of my hand. I was very stubborn about feeding them- I had not a single quarter, but then found a change machine by the barn and tried several different dollar bills (doing the normal trying to straighten and smoothing in between tries- turns out you don't have to go through this because the snack bar you can also buy cups of the corn kernals). What can I say, I was very very determined to get more quarters so we can feed all the ducks and geese along the fence, not just the ones by the deck over the pond. I was also very into even distribution among the fowl. But it was worth it! They had a interesting variety of geese and ducks, including ones I have not seen before.
Fun stop, lots of dips, spreads, and of course good cider.
Fly Creek Cider Mill is an awesome place to visit near Cooperstown. On our last trip to Cooperstown we went to the Mill and we absolutely loved it. The kids loved it and my wife and I both loved it. We plan to go back often and shop online now regularly for their fudge and cider.
Best place ever
