Will You Have Cider on Your Thanksgiving Table?

Franklin Cider Mill

Today The Gadfly Investigations Newspaper was #Gadflyin at The Franklin Cider Mill located at7450 Franklin Rd Bloomfield Hills, MI.  They press and bottle their cider right there on the premises; however due to space you can not tour that area and watch the process.

I picked up some cider for Thanksgiving and also some Northern Spy Apples (I think these apples make the best pies) to bake an apple pie (Spies 4 Pies).  Love the ambiance of The Franklin Cider Mill.

Here is an interesting fact about the mill:  the mill was completed in 1837, the same year Michigan became a state.

I admit I was disappointed as I wanted to get a 'Cider Dog', but they only have them on the weekends :^(  and this weekend is the last weekend they will be open.  Maybe I'll make a quick stop over on Saturday or Sunday.  
An interesting cider fact:  the average yield is approximately 3 gallons of cider per bushel of apples.
