Franklin Cider Mill

Synopsis:
Fall in Michigan is a beautiful time! Autumn is favored among many because of the bright colors, the cool temperatures, the crisp apples, the warm donuts, and the fresh apple cider. Michigan is known for all of these things, and most make it a tradition to visit their local cider mill. The Franklin Cider Mill is in the middle of a quaint village and is also a very old settlement. The mill was completed the same year Michigan became a state, 1837. Throughout the decades, the mill has gone through many different owners and functions, and it also has endured many floods. Now, the mill, obviously, serves as a fun and enjoyable destination to get cider and donuts annually.

Analysis:
My experience at the Franklin Cider Mill was definitely a good one, overall. The donuts were delicious; that is for not having cinnamon sugar on them. The village was charming, and the cider met my expectations; although it was more far more expensive than previous years. This is because most of the apples had to imported from Washington as a result of Michigan having such a mild winter.
      Besides the expensive price, the fresh, cinnamon spice donuts were delicious, and not to mention homemade. There's no doubt about it that the Franklin Cider Mill's best attribute is their food products, which range from classic cider and donuts to a variety of jams and butters. The best thing about it is that the products are almost all local and you can be sure that you are buying delicious quality treats.
