There are some classic elements that many Michiganders look
forward to when it comes to fall. Cool crisp air, a gorgeous foliage color
display, picking pumpkins and apples and of course visiting a cider mill for
donuts and cider. Ever since I could walk my mum would take me to an orchard to
pick apples and pumpkins, we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate
the arrival of fall then with a trip to Blake Farms. We picked our own apples, pumpkins and when we went inside
they were actually pressing apples for cider. I think the process is
fascinating to watch, and a unique experience I had to share with you.

I hope those donuts you're speaking of are pumpkin donuts, because those are my absolute favorite!

This is such a great tradition! I wish we had done something like that growing up! I think I need to find a new tradition for us to start :) I love cider (and of course donuts)!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tradition :) That looks like such a cool process, and sounds so yummy!
ReplyDeleteOh I love cider! I bet this was fun to see in person! I also imagine that the smell was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLOVE Michigan cider mills! I go to one called "Franklin Cider Mill" near Birmingham every year -- there's nothing better than delicious caramel apples & warm, soft donuts :)

ReplyDeleteThis is so neat! I wish we had a place like this to go and see/watch!
ReplyDeleteThese pics are so great! I wish I could see it; I'll have to look up where something like this might be around me. Sure sounds like you know how to bring Autumn in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique experience we don't have anything like this in texas!
ReplyDeleteHow neat is this! I didn't even know anything like this existed. I bet this cider tastes so much better than from say Walmart xxx
ReplyDeleteThis has me wanting to go back and visit Michigan. You and I always go to Yates, but they don't show their entire process this is awesome!
ReplyDelete1. no idea that this existed anywhere that you could see
ReplyDelete2. love your pictures

How neat is this to see! We have a cider mill near my house in PA, however they definitely do not let you see anything like this.
ReplyDeleteIs it really just pressed apples? I had no idea. This was really neat to see thanks for sharing
