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.

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.
