They've moved into a large barn from a much smaller building, and you can sit out in the orchard to enjoy your cider, donuts, etc. They grow 100+ varieties of apples including many heirloom and also have a tasting room for hard cider and wine - also in a historic barn. If you're remotely in the area definitely check out Alber Orchard & Cider Mill, it's a great visit and a great business to support.

Cute place. Lots of unusual apple varieties Unfortunately…read moreyou aren't allowed to select and bag your own apples. They have someone do it, and that person has a habit of grabbing the apples with his fingernails which cuts into the apples. ALL of the apples. This happened over two seasons. Several people I know have had this same issue. A group of about 10 people left the line when they noticed it happening. I would love to make this go-to orchard but because of this hygiene issue, I just can't. And in case you wonder-they've been told it's an issue. They don't care I guess.

We went early in the morning to get there before the crowds or the buzzing bees around the spills that happen outside when it's so busy mid morning on a Sunday. They can turn those sounds out from the kitchen so fast and hot before the line gets longer than the length if the building we bought enough to fill us up for the morning but took more to eat later too they are so fresh that even the next day we happily polished off the rest. My favorite are the cinnamon sugar and the cider hit. But they have cold cider as well and a case of random other pastries made there too. The apple fritters looked enticing and were selling fast but I can get those at home where nobody makes cider donuts like this! I hate missing even one year doing this but lucky we could fit it in this year They also cave a cute gift section. Specialty treats that range from maple syrup to fancy chips and spices line the walls. But I'm there for the cider and donuts. Staff is so quick and accommodating, a perfect vacation treat

They have a cute little market area with cider and donuts. You can also buy pumpkins, mums, gourds and decorations. There's some animals you can see and pet, a cornmaze and corn pit. It's free entry, but certain activities cost extra. Nothing is too outrageously priced, though. Staff are very helpful and help direct you to park.

We made a visit on a beautiful weekday afternoon in September and, as it turned out, it was a lot of fun. The shop was pleasant with an intentionally rural ambiance. There were a few goodies available. The interior featured a hay maze and a few places to sit and relax. There was a wonderful outdoor area to walk around that was replete with a few farm animals. It was a delightful 30-minute stop. This is a great place to visit, especially if you have kids.

We decided to grab some cider and donuts first. While there were plenty of staff, no one acknowledged us... just kind is stared. There wasn't very much inside the store, like other cider mills- even though it's pretty big inside. The cider- didn't say which apples were used and didn't taste as good as Dexter. Donuts- huge disappointment that they were not fresh. The animal farm- little piglets, goat and ducks. The wagon ride- the driver was so engaged and friendly. He definitely made the visit better.

They were doing a small artisan-type festival and we bought some children's books which look cute. They have a whole store you can go into or if you just want donuts and cider, you can do the grab and go area instead. If you want to go to their play area with slides etc it's $5, that also gets you admission into the u-pick area and then on top of that you pay for what you pick. We bought an apple pie, some fudge, donuts (cinnamon and plain, they also have pumpkin and gluten-free and some cherry one today), cider, and cider slushees for the car ride home. I had a slight problem - the straw poked through the cup and slushee went EVERYWHERE, so I'd recommend they maybe get thicker cups or not as pokey straws. They do have regular bathrooms here (as well as a port-a-potties) but they were a little messy. Overall I'd come back here though, they had a lot of tasty-looking treats and a cute venue.

My ONLY qualm with this place is that their cider is pasteurized (everyone knows unpasteurized cider is the fresh tasting most delicious kind)- everything else here is just perfect for a fun fall day.

No matter the time of year I love visiting Downtown Home & Garden. My previous review stated, "I love any store where I can get tulip bulbs, a new bird house, a winter hat shaped like a Christmas tree, a new cookie sheet and a loaf of Zingerman's bread" and all that still rings true. But these days I also add national parks merch, gear for my dogs, holiday decor, kitchen gadgets and cookbooks and, perhaps most exciting for a Polish broad like myself, a variety of Polish pottery pieces. In the spring and summer months I can be found perusing peony bulbs for my garden, hummingbird feeders, bird seed and squirrel proof bird feeders, planters, plants/starters for my veggie garden, pest control and fertilizers, plus a variety of lawn decor and sculpture pieces, etc. Some things can be kind of pricey but you truly get what you pay for. Even after years out in the elements everything I've bought for my yard here is still in amazing condition, my plants from here always yield the most delicious fruits and veggies, and the little birdies are so happy with the snacks we provide them from their bins.
