🍎 Smith’s Orchard Cider Mill – Closed for the Season 🍎

Thank you to everyone who visited us this fall and helped make it another unforgettable orchard season. The trees are resting, the press is quiet, and we’re already planning for next year.

We’ll reopen for the 2026 fall season on the weekend of September 12–13 — our projected opening date for U-Pick apples, fresh cider, cider slushies, and our famous donuts.

Until then, have a safe and cozy winter, and we’ll see you back in the rows next September! ❤️🌳🍩🍎
