It’s fall and we are exploring all the cider mills in an around metro Detroit so we can share our experience with you. We recently stopped by Dexter Cider Mill to try out their cider and donuts. We had a lovely time during our visit and think you and your family will enjoy it too. Here’s a few reasons we think you will love them.
1. Dexter Cider Mill has been family owned and operated since 1866.
Dexter Cider Mill is the oldest continuously operating cider mill in the state of Michigan. They have been sharing their family’s passion for over 135 years.
2. Dexter Cider Mill is an active working mill.
The cider mill has been operating for the past 137 years with very few changes to the process. They use an authentic oak press along with a variety of local Michigan apples to create an amazing flavorful unpasteurized apple cider.
3. Fresh ingredients are key.
The mill uses only the freshest ingredients for the wide variety of baked items and delicious treats. Along with the doughnuts and cider, they also prepare caramel apples and apple nut bread daily for their guests.
4. Check out the “showcase weekends”.
Featuring food trucks and local artisans, weekends are the perfect time to drop by and visit for a cup of cold cider as well as a donut.
