Middleton Cider Mill - Shelby Township

August 26, 2012

altI've lived within 10 miles of Middleton Cider Mill for 30 years but have never had the pleasure of visiting it until recently. I've passed Middleton Cider Mill a million times. You can barely see it from the road even though

Millers Big Red Apple Orchard - Romeo

August 26, 2012

altMiller's Big Red is a great way to spend the day and ranks highly among the local Michigan cider mills in offering a complete cider mill experience. One trip and you'll soon realize that Millers is a year-round fully functioning farm going way beyond apples and pumpkins. In addition to the cider, Millers offers a Country Store that features pies, breads, jams, jellies, donuts and much more. Millers also boasts a humongous greenhouse filled with various Annuals, Perennials and other bedding plants. U-Pick strawberries, cherries, pumpkins, raspberries and 3 kinds of apples run through their respective seasons (check their website for details). Millers also has its own ice cream parlor and makes their own mackinaw fudge.

Mr. Bee's Big 3-D Adventure Barn - Erwin Orchards

August 24, 2011

altMr. Bee's Big 3-D Adventure Barn is a visually striking kids Halloween attraction that is a must-see for young children. Nestled on the northern side of Erwin Orchards Cider Mill in South Lyon, the 3-D Adventure Barn provides a good, "low scare" alternative for kids that may be too young to experience the haunted house attraction on the same grounds.

Paint Creek Cider Mill - Rochester

August 26, 2012

altOne trip to the Paint Creek Cider Mill makes me wish the Paint Creek restaurant didn't close for good as I neverexperienced the restaurant when it was open. The beautiful restaurant is now the Parks and Rec Commission for Oakland Township and Paint Creek Trailways Commision. Oh well, at least we still have the Paint Creek Cider Mill. The charming store and grounds look beautiful and are well maintained.

Parementers Cider Mill - Northville

August 26, 2012

altParmenters Cider Mill is no secret to the community of Northville. It's a very popular, active place even on weekday mornings. I'd classify it as a mid-size mill and attraction.

Spicer Orchards Cider Mill - Fenton

August 26, 2012

altSpicer Orchards Farm Market and Cider Mill is definitely worth the drive if you're looking for a good cider mill in Metro Detroit. I received a request recently to review it for the OCM Cider Mill Directory and, as promised, I wasn't disappointed.

Spicer Orchards Cider Mill is clean and has a great Fall ambience. Spicer Orchards is not campy or "too touristy" like some local cider mills. There is plenty to explore for kids and adults so, if you plan on making a long trip like I did, I can tell you the drive is worth it.

Westview Orchards Cider Mill - Romeo

August 26, 2012

altWestview Orchards touts "A Full Day of Country Fun" and it's easy to see why. The Westview Cider Mill grounds are clean, expansive and the landscape is dotted with sites and activities for young and old. The cider mill itself is open from 10a-5p daily from Labor Day through Halloween but the Farm Market is open from July through X-Mas eve. Westview Cider Mill offers seasonal U-pick cherries (sweet and tart), Freestone peaches, apples and pumpkins. The Westview Cider Mill farm itself includes those but goes even further by offering sweet corn, plums, Bosc Pears, Bartlett Pears, squash and pumpkin pie in their Farm Market. The market also offers donuts, pies, jams, salsas, veggies, gift baskets and more. Westview Cider Mill Bakery is open on weekends only in the Fall and has, in addition to the Market, cream cheese logs, fruit breads and their signature Fruit Flip. Coming soon Westview will offer The Orchard Cafe and Grill at Westview Cider Mill featuring an expanded menu!

Wiards Orchard Cider Mill - Ypsilanti

September 11, 2010

altNothing says fall like a hot donut and cold cider! We are all lucky to live in Michigan where there are so many options of cider mills and orchards. Personally, I love them all but Wiards Cider Mill in Ypsilanti has been a family favorite. I can remember coming with my grandma and she remembers coming to Wiards Cider Mill with HER grandma.
