GUYS.
GOOD TO SEE YOU AS ALWAYS.
LET'S GO INSIDE.
>> Chuck: WHEN YOU THINK OF
FALL AIR.
DOUGHNUTS.
I WENT TO YATES CIDER MILL TO
GET CIDER IN THE SPRING.
♪♪
>> MY NAME IS MIKE AND WELCOME
TO YATES CIDER MILL.
WE'VE BEEN AROUND 153 YEARS NOW
COMMUNITY.

THE HARVEST OF APPLES IS IN THE
FALL.
PRESSING CIDER IS ALWAYS IN THE
FALL.
FOR US, WE CAN STORE APPLES OVER
THE WINTER, WHY DON'T WE PRESS
IN THE SPRIN
SO WE DECIDED TO START PRESSING
IN THE SPRING A FEW YEARS AGO
AND IT'S BEEN A LOT OF FUN
BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S GOT CABIN
FEVER IN THE SPRING, SO THIS IS
AN AWESOME OPTION TO GET
OUTSID
>> MY PERSONAL OPINION IS THAT
THE SPRING CIDER ACTUALLY HAS A
FULLER, DEEPER FLAVOR.
THE APPLES ARE MAYBE A LITTLE
RIPER THAN THEY WOULD BE IN THE
FALL AND THE FLAVORS ARE FULLER.
WE HAVE ALL THE OPTIONS FOR
TOGETHER.
WE HAVE SIX DIFFERENT VARIETIES
THIS SPRING.
MAYBE WE MISSED THE CIDER FROM
THE FALL AND IT TASTES EXTRA
SPECIAL IN THE SPRING BUT BOY,
IS IT GOOD!
WE PRETTY A FEW TIMES A WEEK,
EVEN IN THE SPRING.
WE JUST DO SMALLER BATCHES, BUT
WE DO IT T OLD-FASHIONED WAY.
THE PRESS RUNS OFF WATER POWER
FROM THE RIVER.
LIKE I SAID, WE BLEND QUITE A
VARIETY OF APPLES IN THE SPRING,
SO WE BRING IT ALL TOGETHER AND
GRIND 'EM RIGHT THROUGH THIS
CHUTE THAT YOU SEE HERE AND THEN
ROTATE THE TABLE AND PRESS 'EM
PROCESS.
IT'S THE SAME PROCESS WE'VE USED
FOR THE LAST 100 YEARS.
♪♪
EVEN DURING THE SPRING WE HAVE
THE BAKED GOODS, PIES, POCKET
PIES WHICH ARE A FAVORITE, ALL
OF THE DOUGHNUT VARIETIES.
AND EVERYONE KNOWS WE MAKE 'EM
FRESH ALL THE TIME.
>> Tati: SO YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT
THE SPRING TREATS WITHOUT GIVING
THEM A TRY.
FIRST UP, THE FAMOUS SUNDAY
I LOVE THIS PLACE!
CAN'T FORGET THE SLIDER SLUSHEE.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA TAKE ALL THE
FLAVOR IN RIGHT AWAY.
IT HITS YOUR TASTE BUDS AND IT'S
AMAZING!
STARTS OFF SMOOTH.
SWEET AND TART.
THIS IS GOOD!
THIS IS WORTH THE TRIP TO YATES
CIDER MILL, DEFINITEL
I HAD A GREAT TIME OUT THERE.
SO GUESS WHAT?
I HAD TO BRING MIKE TITUS, ONE
OF THE OWNERS, INTO THE STUDIO.
>> THANK YOU.
CHUCK.
FRIEND.
>> Tati: TELL US WHAT YOU
BROUGHT IN.
>> WE BROUGHT SOME DOUGHNUTS, OF
COURSE, JUST MADE AN HOUR AGO,
ABOUT AS FRESH AS THEY GET, THE
MOLASSES COOKIES AND SPRING
>> Tati: SO GOOD!
>> Chuck: THIS IS A TREND FOR
YOU GUYS THAT STARTED JUST A
COUPLE YEARS AGO, RIGHT?
>> WE JUST -- WE HAVE AN ICE
CREAM SHOP WE OPEN IN THE
SPRING, SO WHY DON'T WE DO A
SPRING PRESSING, TOO, AND MAKE
CIDER FOR THE SUMMER, FOR THE
SLIDER SLUSH, WHICH IS A POPULAR
ITEM, SO WHY DON'T WE OPEN UP
TAKEN OFF.
PEOPLE WANT TO GET OUT IN
SPRING, SO YATES HAS ALWAYS BEEN
A DESTINATION AND FALL EVENT.
BUT PEOPLE ARE JUST AS EAGER TO
GET OUT IN THE SPRING.
>> Jason: MAYBE MORE SO.
>> IT'S BEEN A BIG HIT.
>> Tati: IT'S YUMMIER!
AND THEY DO THIS VERY
SCIENTIFICALLY.
YOU HAVE A CHAMBER TO KEEP THE
APPLES, NO OXYGEN IN THERE.
AND VA-VOOM!
YOU GET THIS GREAT TASTING
CIDER!
>> THANK YOU.
AND WITH THE COOLING TECHNOLOGY,
THAT'S IMPROVED.
AND WE CAN TAKE THE OXYGEN OUT
OF A CHAMBER, A STORAGE UNIT AND
WINTER.
AND THEY'RE IN GREAT SHAPE IN
THE SPRING.
WE HAVE -- I MENTIONED ON THE
PIECE, WE HAVE 6 VARIETIES OF
APPLES, A LITTLE TART AND A
LITTLE SWEET, AND IT'S ALL ABOUT
GOOD FRU AND THE BALANCE OF
>> Chuck: GOOD STUFF!
