Here's a list of Michigan cider mills for drinks and eats

Every year around this time, those cool early morning temperatures are always a reminder that autumn is just around the corner and that it’s time to gather the family together to visit your favorite farm for a special treat — apple cider and doughnuts.

Depending on the farm, you may also be able to pick apples, pumpkins, raspberries, corn, shop the farm market, and more. And, don’t forget to take home one of the freshly baked goods, maybe a pie, or two, for later. Remember, masks and social distancing are required.
