Yates Cider Mill in Rochester Hills combines a historic water-powered milling site with a continuing cider business.

The mill’s riverside setting and seasonal food traditions connect visitors with an agricultural industry that long predates the surrounding suburbs.
Use the official information for the historic mill location, since the business also operates elsewhere. Check current opening and production arrangements before expecting to see cider being made. The photograph shows the mill building. Food purchases, trails and organized gatherings follow their own rules; stay out of working machinery areas and respect river conditions and neighboring property.
