Robert Brown a cider donut is basically a cake type donut flavored with apple cider in the batter and usually a cinnamon/sugar mix is sprinkled on top very popular here at apple orchard outlets.
I'll ask about free samples
JD4520 we're a pretty diversified operation 30 greenhouses and a 50 acre orchard...in season we have a pick your own apple program for people to come to the orchard plus there's a 7 day a week storefront there to buy picked and bagged apples and baked goods. There are over 2 dozen apple varieties at the orchard (plus pears peaches & plums) and we have a cider press and pasturizer. We do commercial accounts like stores and schools plus have a farmstand, do farmers markets usually 4 a week, plus there are often offsite harvest festivals around to sell at too. Looks like your across the country from us but we do ship as far as Hawaii!

You might need a new treadmill as well! I'm jealous.

If you lived anywhere near me I'd be making weekly pilgrimages. Cider-flavored cinnamon-sprinkled donuts: total yum! Nice facility you have there, too.
Make sure you vent the oven outside so that passing motorists and bicyclists get a whiff. That and some signs on the road will get you some extra retail business.

I haven't been to Fly Creek in many years, but other family members have, I have heard it has
grown quite a bit since I was last there. I think when i was last there, my kids were both around
10? now they are 25 and 27, so it's been 15 years i bet!
cool place

We've been meeting up with old friends who live in Ohio about once a year by picking someplace interesting in NY lately, since that is about mid-way for both of us. Cooperstown was a nice place with lots of interesting stuff around. Fly Creek seems to be a case of a farm family figuring out how to make a living, and doing it well. Their donuts/food were very tasty and they were doing a healthy business in their store too.
This year, the plan is to visit the winery areas in the Finger Lakes region together. Lots of nice/fun stuff in NY State.
