Eric and Francine Chittenden founded Cold Hollow in 1974 in Bakersfield, Vermont, and moved it in 1976 to its Route 100 site between Waterbury and Stowe. The mill still presses cider on an old-fashioned rack-and-cloth press and fries its cider donuts fresh every day from that cider. Paul and Gayle Brown ran it from 2000 to 2022, when Dan Snyder took over.
Open since 1974
Independently owned by Dan Snyder (with Chelsea per the mill's About page), who bought it from Paul and Gayle Brown in 2022 per Waterbury Roundabout.
