Weekend Adventures - Hay Rides and Cider Mills

[chrissymunder]

More weekend fun behind us. This time, our third trip to the local cider mill. We're lucky in that we have at least four in a fifty mile radius. Just pick one. This trip we visited Diehl's Orchard and Cider Mill in Holly. An old favorite, this is one of the first mills I ever toured and the press and workings still look the same. The corn maze was closed this year, but there was plenty of our favorite, unpasteurized cider available, the fresh made and deep fried donut line was chugging away, and the selection of fresh apples couldn't be beat. Add in crisp fall weather, the changing colors of the leaves, and the rather large, orange and white tabby that followed us around - perfect.

How about you? Do you have any cider mill traditions/mermories? How do you take your cider, pasteurized, unpasteurized, or hard?

Hard cider is mostly gf (there's only one brand I can think of that isn't - the one with a rhino or elephant on it), which makes it a favorite.

The hard cider always seems to end up a big winner. :)
