Cider Mill

This time of the year is the perfect time to gather your friends or family and head out to the Cider mill!  One of my favorite cider mills is the Westview Orchard.  This orchard provides a cider mill, apple picking (this time of year; as it may vary depending on the season), and an adventurous farm.  The different crops or fruits that grow here vary from peaches, apples, pumpkins, cherries, corn, strawberries, and much much more.  They also provide a mini farm area with farm animals you can feed or pet.  If your bring children along, this orchard has a children playground.  I have been on many field trips here with my preschoolers/toddlers and they love it!  The playground is very safe might I mention, as it is cover with tire rubber (instead of rocks or sand) which is very convenient and safe when little children are running around.  The cider mill and donuts are absolutely delicious as well!  This cider mill is located on 30 mile and Van dyke (if you take m-53 all the way up it would be on your left hand side once you pass 30 mile).  Spending the day at the orchard is fun and relaxing.  You can also walk around and enjoy the scenery while you are there.  Make sure to grab some extra cider mill and donuts before you leave (you might crave them the next day as I always do).  The cider mill will not be open for much longer, so take the opportunity and head out there before it gets too cold out!
