All About "Around the Town"

The Around the Town blog contains metro area events that either we've (the bloggers) attended in the past, would like to attend, plan to attend or just sound interesting. It is not  a complete event calender or is focused on only events that take place  in the county. Read more.

Early fall to many in Michigan means two thingscidermills: College Football and Apple Cider

It's that time once again to pack up the family and head out to visit your local cider mill.

You won't find nothing sweeter then fresh ice cold apple cider (except maybe honey straight from the hive!!)
At many mills/farms you can get more then just apples and cider. Veggies, fruits, pies and honey, along with donuts can be found at many of the mills.
Some even have special events for the season (halloween hauntings, hay rides, barn dances etc)
So take a ride this weekend and visit one of the area cider mills.

Michigan has the apple blossom as its state flower so why shouldn't apple cider be made the official state drink?

In 2008 we published a longer list of mills & farms in the area. You can find that list here.
We have not gone back and verified any of the sites on that list.
