Fall is among us, there’s no denying it. The air has that familiar, perhaps even nostalgic, crispness, and stores are piling up pumpkins and gourds to greet you on the way in.
Pumpkin, apple, and cinnamon are the flavors of the season, and every home smells like a mix of pumpkin pie and nutmeg. And speaking of apples, this is also the time of year when the beloved apple cider donut makes its much-anticipated return. If you’re as excited as we are, you might shed a tear of joy.
Yep… I’m fully crying right now.

Apple Hill Orchards has evolved from a small family operation selling crates of apples out of a barn into a thriving, sustainable farm and local staple. But while the business has grown, their commitment to fresh, high-quality produce and ridiculously good apple cider donuts hasn’t. Seriously, some people fly in just to get a taste. Whether you’re here for a day of family fun or just those famous donuts, Apple Hill offers the perfect fall experience.
