Have created precious memories in this Fall wonderland over many years now. Delightfully picturesque cider mill by a stream with bridges and ducks. The honey crisp cider is served cold, crisp and is, honestly, honey sweet. The greasy …

Scenic and tourist-like. Out of the all the cider mills in metro Detroit, this one probably has the most inflated prices but that can’t come as any surprise as it’s located in Franklin on the border of Bloomfield Township. I love that they …

Franklin Cider Mill. The absolute best. My advice for all who would come seeking Pure Michigan Nostalgia. Don't come looking for things that are not here and have never been here. This is Franklin Cider Mill. They have Franklin Cider Mill doughnuts. Amazing, hearty, hot and fresh; deep fried and crispy on the edges. No, not sugar coated or filled. They are amazing just as they are. Apple Cider fresh pressed and as sweet as nature itself. They have memorabilia, a history wall, and plenty of Cider Mill Nostalgia. They will put up tables and chairs if you have a large group and ask. A babbling brook runs through with tons of hungry ducks and black walnut trees overhead. They have some chest height tables and a few benches by the stream. Tons of seasonal apple and farm fresh products to purchase as well. They have pull apart apple pie bread, apple pies, jelly and jams, syrups and dressings, so many amazing things. Some items sell out so you always have that possibility but when certain items are in such high demand, that's life! If you want cheap Cider, go to Kroger. If you want fresh pressed Pure Natural Cider, come to Franklin Cider Mill! My family of 6 is fulfilling our fall Cider Mill run before heading back to Florida and Franklin Cider Mill was absolutely amazing, just like it was when I lived in Michigan 30+ years ago. When I asked my kids if it was everything they heard it was they agreed it was amazing. So much more I could go on four hours. 5 stars all the way

Is the cider Pasteurized? Is it cloudy, or can you see through it to the bottom of your cup?

Bryan Murphy | Jan 1, 2019
Christina Schamante | Jan 2, 2019

Its not "clear" {like say apple juice} but it's not "cloudy" either. The word I might use is.... condensed? (but certainly not "thick" or anything like that!) It's what a fresh pressed apple should look like. And, it is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Seriously, Franklin makes one of THE BEST Apple Cider's in Michigan...if not the whole country, -& I have tried quite a few different apple ciders - in Michigan, but not around the rest of the counrty tho. *I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Apple Cider! *I even got a small freezer just to keep frozen Cider during the off season-I often drink it every single day -until we run out & I have to wait to get more! But seriously, unpasteurized cider is not as good. Unless u have a weakend immune system tho, its really nothing to worry about!
