While you shop for mid-Michigan farm products, pick a pumpkin or tour the Michigan apple orchards be sure to enjoy hot donuts and a refreshing glass of cider made right here in our cider mill from delicious Michigan apples. For a great fall outing, join us for The Michigan Apple Festival on September 24th & 25th.
