About Thompson’s Cider Mill
Thompson’s Cider Mill and Orchard traces its modern-day beginning to 1975 when Geoff
Thompson became interested in apple varieties while working as a newspaper reporter and
as a part-time assistant at the Teatown Lake Reservation Nature Center near Ossining, NY.
By chance, Geoff participated in a program of making fresh apple cider on several antique
apple cider presses that Teatown had acquired for a special event. Initially, he purchased a hand-operated grinder and juice press. Geoff then committed himself to expanding his interest and to attempting to preserve some of the lost traditions of cider making and apple growing in the Westchester County area of New York. In 1977, he purchased a set of cider-making equipment including an elevator to carry the apples up and drop them through a mechanized grinder, and a hydraulic press used to squeeze the
ground apple. For three years he made cider in an old barn on the Teatown Reservation on 10 fall
weekends. The cider was made from apples he collected from local orchards and was sold
directly to those who came to the mill.
