Open since 1886, it is Michigan’s oldest continuously operating cider mill, according to its website. The family-owned business is also a member of the Michigan Cider Makers’ Guild and its owners say “very few changes” have been made to its processes over the decades.
Its cider is unpasteurized and is made using several varieties of local apples on its oak press.
When the weather gets cooler toward the end of the season, the mill serves hot spiced cider.
The Dexter Cider Mill accepts cash or check only. An ATM is available on site and parking is free.
Hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (Aug. 26-28) of opening weekend are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Dexter Cider Mill is located at 3685 Central St. in Dexter.
