GOODISON CIDER MILL

Start your trip at Goodison Cider Mill. It is a quick stop with delicious cherry glaze donuts, cider and famous pistachio bread.

Address: 4295 Orion Road, Rochester, MI 48306


PAINT CREEK CIDER MILL

Literally across the street from Goodison, Paint Creek Cider Mill is off the Paint Creek Trail (good for walking and biking). Not only can you get cider and donuts, you can order a complete lunch.

Address: 4480 Orion Rd Rochester, MI 48306


ROCHESTER CIDER MILL

Rochester Cider Mill is a winner.  The sprinkle donut was a hit with the kids (and probably my favorite) and there are other flavors too. The cider slushy was delicious. Outside there are pumpkins (to purchase and for pictures) and a little area for kids to run around.

Address: 5125 North Rochester Road, Rochester, MI 48306


YATES CIDER MILL

The runaway LittleGuide audience favorite, Yates Cider Mill is very popular and busy – prepare yourself for a line. End your day in Rochester relaxing under the trees or at a picnic table – there is plenty of seating.

Address: 1990 E Avon Rd, Rochester, MI 48307


Work off the sweet treats and chase the kids around the playground or take a family hike at one of these local parks.
