2VerHage Fruit Farms & Cider Mill, Kalamazoo
VerHage Fruit Farms & Cider Mill is by far THE BEST cider I have ever tasted! There are no preservatives and nothing added except real apples and sometimes other fall fruit. They also have homemade doughnuts, pick your own apples, shopping, music, hayrides, a zip line and more fun for kids at nominal prices. If you haven’t been to VerHage Cider Fruit Farms & Cider Mill farm you need to go there! If you have…you already know what I’m talking about…They are open from the spring with all kinds of fruit and fresh baked goods through the holidays in December.
