"This was out first year going to Yates and we had a great time. My Aunt Mary for years has told us how wonderful your donuts and cider are. Now I can testify that yes they are!"

What is that train track behind the
mill? That is used for our apple pulp train car!
After all the juice is squeezed out of the apples,
the dried up bunch of apple bits that are left
is what we call apple pulp. From the press, each blanketful
of apple pulp is dumped into one of these cars. Once
the car is full, it follows the tracks from
underneath the mill, up the hill and outside
where it is dumped and ready to be hauled away.
Watch the gates close and the Railroad Crossing Sign
lights will flash and the bell will ring! Then you will
know the apple pulp cars are on their way! On a busy
weekend, the pulp car is emptied a couple times a day,
usually later in the afternoon.
