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!
