Hy’s Cider Mill

This place is amazing! We arrived prior to 1pm on a Sunday and it was not too busy yet. We found they had $ 3 pumpkins and these are large pumpkins too! The donuts are soft, warm and DELISH! We could probably eat 6 each! Instead we boarded one of the tractors to the Fuji and Golden Delicious apple locations. On the way, the tractor driver would stop and pick free samples of different apples. We had Honeycrisps, snow, Fuji, and Golden Delicious. They were all so fresh and yummy! Once we filled up two bushels we zoomed back to the main mill. They charged us $.75 per pound. It was a very good farmer deal! We also bought some cider and four pumpkins. They make the cider right in the main red barn. It smells soooo good inside! We will definitely return to this cider mill.

Fresh flavorful cider. Donuts are crispy on outside and fluffy inside. Try the homemade potato chips– they’re evil good.

I love the cider and doughnuts here! They are the best in the area! This is a small family friendly cider mill. If you want the high traffic touristy place you need to ho elsewhere! This is the real deal.

This orchard is what an orchard should be. It’s small, family owned, affordable, and fun! The donuts are delicious, they are making them fresh so they are warm when you get them. The cider is delicious and you can watch it being made. The caramel apples are also good and don’t cost an arm and a leg.
As far as the orchard, it isn’t commercialized. You can pick your own apples for at least a third less than the larger orchards. You can walk or take a tractor out to the orchards and pick apples as you walk back. It reminds me of how orchards were when I was a kid!
Once you are done picking the apples, grab a table, some cider, and some donuts, and enjoy eating them at a picnic table. When the kids are ready to play, they have huge old fashioned hay bales to keep the kids entertained. No gimics, no petting zoo, no large crowds. I can’t say enough about this place!
Ooooh, and for those who have dogs, they are dog friendly outside as long as you clean up after your pet, they are on a leash, and they are friendly.

They have the best donuts and cider hands down! We go every year and look forward to it each time. I think I could eat a dozen donuts myself. If you’re looking for a farm with what basically boils down to a carnival out front, this is not for you. If you are looking for a real farm with awesome food and drink you will not be disappointed.

Our family loves Hy’s so much, we continue to drive 65 miles one-​way so that we can enjoy it throughout the autumn. We moved out here last year, and we’ve tried the mills within a few miles of our home and have been seriously disappointed. Hy’s has set a gold standard that they simply cannot meet!
The cider is hands-​down our favorite, and we have gone to at least a dozen other mills. The flavor and consistency is wonderful, and they know how to maintain these while still pasteurizing the product.
The donuts are perfection. They are, of course, the best when they are still hot and sizzling out of the fryer, but even if they’ve cooled down a bit, they retain the fantastic crisp on the outside, soft on the inside bite and have delicious flavor.
Prices are more than fair for such great products. I’ve bought honey in their shop too, because it is better priced than anywhere else I’ve seen.
They don’t have bounce houses and all of that extraneous crap a lot of other mills have flocked to, but a copious amount of picnic tables and large hay bales for climbing keep our three-​year-​old very content. Hy’s is the reason our son has declared every Saturday in autumn to be renamed Ciderday, and most weekends, that is exactly what it is!
We will be stocking up before they close for the season and freezing several gallons to tide us over. They are the best!

I’ve had many, MANY cider mill donuts and hands down Hy’s are thee best so far. Shockingly, I prefer the plain over the sugar/​cinnamon. it’s that good.
Cider is very good too!
