B.F. Clyde’s Cider Mill in Old Mystic: Feature Photography by a Connecticut Photojournalist

Photographing B.F. Clyde’s Cider Mill in Old Mystic, Connecticut, was something truly special. This place feels like stepping into a vintage postcard. I recently had the pleasure of photographing them for an assignment from Heather Marcus at Yankee Magazine. Thank you so much, Heather! 

 

I love to see my work featured in Yankee Magazine, and this time I was especially thrilled to see my name mentioned in the article – the writer humorously noted to “beware of influencers who may stop short in front of you to snap a photo of a doughnut perched on their slushie cup—a pairing so delicious-looking even Yankee’s photographer couldn’t resist.” Guilty as charged! I absolutely couldn’t say no to those irresistible apple cider doughnuts.

 

The atmosphere inside the mill is truly magical. The air is filled with the sweet scent of apples, combined with hints of wood and leather—a smell that’s as unique as the cider-making process itself. Each inhale transported me back to my childhood, perfectly capturing the rustic charm of this historic site.

 

 

I was in awe of the historical machinery still in operation, a testament to the craftsmanship of the past. The rhythmic clanking of the old presses and the sight of apples being transformed into fresh cider.

Every moment I captured felt like a snapshot of history in the making. The joy on the faces of families enjoying their time at the mill reminded me of the importance of places like B.F. Clyde’s in creating connections and traditions.
