11 Best Cider Mills in Southeastern, Michigan

The months of September and October are filled with leaves changing colors, football season in full swing. Transition from summer heat to the cool crisp air of autumn starts everyone's favorite season: SWEATER weather. With fall, comes family trips to the cider mill. Here is a list of the 11 best Cider Mills in Southeastern, Michigan.

1. Blake's Orchard and Cider Mill

Blake's has more than a dozen acres of land for kids to run around, with multiple structures for jumping and climbing on. Being able to watch cider being made is an experience that feels magical only during the fall.

2. Yates Cider Mill

There are hills, benches, a river walk, a petting zoo. Don't come if you're in a hurry because the doughy doughnuts attract large crowds on the weekends.

3. Stony Creek Orchard and Cider Mill

This store is stocked with fresh produce, warm, crisp doughnuts, and the orchard offers U-Pick apples, pumpkins and raspberries. Be sure to reserve a spot at the scare-free Moonlight Hayride Saturday nights in October.

4. Westview Orchard and Adventure Farm

Who doesn't want to slide down a 40-foot slide and explore the rest of the three acre playground, petting farm and then finish with the cider mill. After, having a fresh doughnut and a glass of cold cider let your sweet tooth wander to Schoolhouse Ice Cream & Sweet shoppe or let your adventure side come out and romp around the tire mountain or log obstacle course.

5. Goodison Cider Mill

What's a cider mill without fresh cider and apples to take home. Sunday's has entertainment by John the balloon guy, moonwalks and music by a blue grass ensemble.

6. Long Family Orchard, Farm & Cider Mill

After picking apples and pumpkins, take a relaxing wagon ride and test your patience in the Night Time Corn Maze. Then, bring home some honey, apple butter, preserves and breads too.

7. Paint Creek Cider Mill

This is more than a cider mill, there is a menu full of sandwiches, coney dogs, pizza and ice cream. Plus, there is barbecue items on the menu. There is something for everyone in the family, even the fussy ones. After, having lunch take a walk on part of the Paint Creek Trail and check out the giant water wheel in the fall.

8. Rochester Cider Mill

Bring the kids or those teenagers who act like kids to climb the straw pyramid and go to the petting farm. After, you can admire a collection of antique farm equipment outside and in. You can guess what the old tools were used for by matching their number to the description. As a family it could a bet on who gets the most right, who doesn't enjoy beating their sibling or parents.

9. Westview Cider Mill

The smell of warm, fresh peach donuts fills the air at this cider mill. To wash it down have a glass of peach cider. If your not a fan of peach donuts then try donuts with bacon on it. WHAT! Bacon donuts! There are donuts with a dark chocolate glaze or a maple glaze topped with bacon crumbles on it.

10. Verellen Cider Mill

There is more than just the typical cider here. Instead, they also create delicious cider SLUSHIES! It is highly recommended to try the fresh homemade coffee cake or cookies. For the kids, there is fresh popped popcorn.

11. Erwin Orchards, Inc.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
