September 15 - October 31, 2023
It all starts at our Country Store, where you can watch apples being pressed into cider in our 120-year-old barn, enjoy some of our famous apple cider and apple cider donuts, and sit and enjoy live bluegrass music every weekend. You can also grab some of your other favorites in our Lost Trail Soda trailer! All these things can be enjoyed during Country Store hours of operation, and there is no fee for admission to the Country Store.
A fall trip to the Cider Mill is not complete without a stop at our Family Farm! Venture through our 10-acre corn maze, and search for the perfect pumpkin to carve or for one of our special ones in our 10-acre pumpkin patch. Enjoy a wagon ride around our Family Farm; stop off at Tire Mountain to enjoy some fresh air and slide down Sunflower Hill. Watch the kids run and play in Little Apple Playland as they climb on our rock wall and swing from the monkey bars. Accept the challenge of an intense game of Jenga or Connect Four. It is a fun time to reserve a fire pit and host a birthday party or even a family gathering with a Fall theme, call to reserve your fire pit today. All these amenities are available with paid admission to the Family Farm.
