Franklin Cider Mill

One of our staffers remarks: “It’s the best-tasting cider, and the donuts are to die for. The brown paper bags they come in become translucent with grease. The cider press is right there so you can witness the apple carnage. Watch out for the bees.” Open 7 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday-Sunday, until Nov. 26. For those going late in the season, the mill offers this appealing opinion: “The sweetest cider is the day we close.”
