I grew up in MI and went every year, I even started my stepson on this family tradition..I absolutely love this place..!! I moved to CO 5 years ago and I STILL drive back every year to Franklin .

Spent my childhood coming here and it was my first time back. Could have bought a lot but high prices kept our focus on cider and donuts only. Lots of great speciality items but for next time.

The cider , donuts & caramel apples are wonderful. They also sell cheeses , apples , honey , popcorn , pies , etc. Basically they specialize in all things autumn!!

Katie Buczkowski

Weekends are ALWAYS busy, BUT totally worth it! Lines go really fast & the cider slushes are SO good!

Stephen C

Nice people and good donuts and apple products. Not to be confused with an orchard. Borderline novelty, like putt-putt is to golf . Cash only but they have an ATM .

Ellen Jones

This used to be a great place tobring he family and w have come evey year for over twenty years and each year the rated sre higher. This year the prices are outrageous and service as not the best.

Shampa Davie

Hot apple cider and a couple of donuts make the best memory! Get it while you can!

Terri Browning

Love watching them press cider but 2 yrs in a row that I bought the girls they were not pressing... bummer they live n Indiana..and their prices are high!

Love that they let you bring your dog, even in the shop! They even have a station to clean up after your pup.

If you don't finish all your delicious donuts , put them in the toaster the next day and they'll come back to life.

Marco Aurelio Hernández

Expensive but comfy , the doughnuts are worth it

Mike Hardie

Best cider around, but be sure to bring a full wallet. A dozen and a gallon sets you back quite a bit!

Melanie

Nice setting with the river cutting through, but donuts weren't anything to write home about (and they only have one kind)

Hughley

This year's Honeycrisp cider was amazing and the donuts never disappoint.

Jessica

Make sure to get a spot by the stream to enjoy your cider and donuts . It's fun to feed the ducks !

Ryan Logan

Quite possibly one of the best places on the planet!

One of the last places in the free world that does not take credit cards . Also, the bees are everywhere!

Doesn't seem possible that Autumn os nearly here. They are getting ready for cider season and it was a record high apple crop in Michigan. Wah who!

Chow Down Detroit

Ask for cups and share a bigger size cider with donuts .

Talya A. D. Woolf

It closes nightly at 6:30pm, even on the weekends. Hurry and you CAN make it.
