Oscar Mayer

Meep! Meep! Maria and I had to make a regular stop at the post office in Mystic, CT.  After parking the Wienermobile a man approached us and told of a franktastic place to stop for some apple cider and doughnuts.

Meeps!, WNR MBLE, and I took a short five minute drive down the road and arrived at B.F. Clyde’s Cider Mill.  Built in 1881, the Cider Mill is now in its sixth generation of family ownership.  B.F. Clyde’s Cider Mill still uses the same equipment that it used in 1881 when it opened up.  (1881 was only two years prior to Oscar Mayer opening up his first butcher shop in Chicago, IL)  The only difference in the equipment is the boiler is now oil fired as opposed to the original boiler which was fired by wood.

B.F. Clyde’s Cider Mill is known for their hard cider and apple wines.  Meeps! and I also had to try some of their apple cider doughnuts topped with cinnamon sugar.  Unfortunately, we could not bring WNR MBLE in for a tour of the cider mill.
