About Smith's Orchard Cider Mill

Smith's Orchard Cider Mill is a family farm where visitors pick apples directly from the orchard on weekends. The orchard grows Empire, Cortland, and McIntosh varieties available for harvest. At the cider mill itself, guests can watch cider being pressed through a 100-year-old cider press and sample fresh cider straight from the equipment when pressing is underway. The mill produces a special apple blend used to make cider slushies and cider donuts, both available for purchase on-site. Visitors typically spend time selecting apples in the orchard, then move to the mill area to taste the fresh-pressed cider and purchase donuts and slushies before heading home with their harvest. Smith's Orchard Cider Mill is located in Niagara County between Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Lockport, New York.
