Spend Your Fall Days at Yates
Family Owned & Operated for Over 160 Years
Back when the nation was in the middle of the Civil War, back when Abraham Lincoln was president, Caroline and William Yates purchased 80 acres of newly settled countryside along the banks of the Clinton River in Oakland County, Michigan…
They started a business with a saw mill in 1863 and quickly expanded to grind a variety of grains, and then pressing apples in 1874. A larger building, the one which still stands today, was built in 1894, at which time the Yates focused the business solely on cider production. Now celebrating 160 years of continuous operation, the mill has aged well with very little change!

In our fast-paced world, Yates Cider Mill is a slice of country where the clock seems to tick a little more slowly. Holding the charm of days gone by, it remains a place where people come to share traditions, memories, a special sense of community, and, of course, the best tasting cider and donuts around.
