feels like fall is in the air
very friendly and delicious
even an apple cider slushie

Michigan is known for having one of the densest networks of traditional, family-owned sweet cider mills (over 125 licensed mills) alongside a massive hard cider industry, producing roughly one billion pounds of apples annually. Established in 1886, Dexter Cider Mill is Michigan’s oldest continuously operating cider mill. It sits right on the banks of the Huron River and uses an original oak rack press.
Selling wood-pressed fresh unpasteurized cider, warm cinnamon doughnuts, caramel apples, apple nut bread, and small-batch hard ciders. Cash or check only.
