You can't beat these to-go treats!

This Year's Apple Crop Harvest Looks Great!

Michigan's 2025 apple crop is expected to be another large one, with projections around 30 million bushels.

 This would make it the fourth consecutive year of above-average production for the state.

 Favorable weather conditions in the spring, including no significant frost or freeze events, contributed to the positive outlook

HY's cider MillScott Randall

HY's Cider Mill in Romeo, Michigan

Hy's is off the beaten path compared to established mills.

Found this great site while on a motorcycle ride a few years ago.

The Hy's family has been producing high-quality cider for over three generations. They have perfected their craft and take pride in sharing their delicious cider with the world.

Located at 6350 37 Mile Rd, Romeo, Michigan, they offer a wide variety of flavors, ranging from traditional apple to unique blends like pear and ginger. The ciders are so delicious, I just had to brag a little.

Saturday & Sunday 11 am-6 pm Sept.7th - Nov. 3rd
