Franklin Cider Mill (Michigan)

Our friends Kimee and Michael were visiting family in Michigan earlier this month, where Michael introduced Kimee to the tradition of visiting cider mills in the Fall. How I miss this tradition! The hot, fresh cider from the apples and holding your cup under the spout to get it as fresh as humanly possible… the hot, cinnamon-sugar doughnuts… the caramel apples… the hay rides and pumpkin patches. I don’t regret living in San Francisco, but the Bay Area cannot compete with Michigan when it comes to Fall activities!
