Visited Spicers this past Saturday and I was ready to face huge crowds and long lines…read more When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see abundant parking options! Although it was busy and there were lines. The line for donuts went by very quick! We got the cinnamon sugar and plain donuts and they were fantastic! They came out fresh and in bags of 6! It was perfect for mixing and matching. We also picked up two pumpkins to carve and they were priced like 50 cents a pound (don't quote me) Over all this was the perfect place to get me in the mood for fall!

I've been coming to Spicer Farm and Orchard every year with my family and friends ; it's become a…read morelittle fall tradition for us. However, during our most recent visit, we noticed quite a few changes from previous years, and unfortunately, not all for the better. They no longer have the scenic hayride that used to include a free donut and a cup of apple cider with your ticket purchase. Now, it's $5 per person, and instead of a peaceful scenic ride, it stops at every station and they no longer give you a donut & cider with ticket purchase. When we asked about the change, we were told it was because they weren't making money off the old setup. I understand businesses need to adjust, but it really took away from the experience. That scenic ride with the cider and donut was always one of the highlights for us ; something we truly looked forward to every year. They did add more bouncy houses for the kids, which is nice, but the ones they had before were just as fun. The food was about the same, decent, but nothing special. It was noticeably more expensive this year. $5 for a single ear of corn felt excessive. On the positive side, the cinnamon donuts are still amazing, and the apple cider is as delicious as ever. I also enjoyed the wine tasting, which is always fun, though seating is still limited and could be improved. Overall, the visit just didn't have the same charm or warmth as before. We still had an okay time, but it didn't feel as memorable as past years. Sadly, I think this might be our last year visiting, we'll probably look for a new orchard next fall.

Review # 550 ( According To My Journal)…read more Tuesday, June 30, 2026 I can't believe that I have Never written a 5 Star Review for My One & Only Favorite Fun Cider Mill - YATES ! This Sweet Business is Located at 1950 E. Avon Rd. near 23 Mile Rd and Dequindre. It is My monthly stop after visiting My Parents at the cemetery on Hamlin Nearby Yates Cider off Dequindre. Yates is celebrating 163 Years of Fresh Made Cider from Apples grown on the property and nearby to be Mashed in their pressing Machine located inside this sweet business. Naturally they close for the winter but open the first week of May till after Halloween. Stop in to see the farm animals for kids, play area and plenty of picnic tables to sit and enjoy a glass of cider and their famous plain or cinnamon sugar donut. ( Photos attached) The past 3 times when I have stopped to shop the donuts have been freshly baked and warm to enjoy before I drive home with a Gallon of cider and 4 other donuts cuz I always eat 2 there with a couple swigs of cider. There's walking trails near the water so pack your hiking or walking tennis shoes for us ladies in flip flops or sandals. Pets are welcome on leash. Inside the business is their clean and stocked store with Homemade Donuts of Cinnamon, Plain & Powdered, Apple Fritters on Friday, Jams, Jellies, Pocket Pies, Cookies and also Sparkling Cider in the Fall. There's an Outdoor Ice Cream Shoppe with Fudge, Caramel Apples, Ice Cream including their famous Donut Sundaes ! They sell hot dogs, roasted corn, and apples when in season. The Staff is always polite with Welcome Smiles when I visit Yates. Some Gluten- Free donuts options are also available I was told. I saw on my last visit two weeks ago, slushy cider machines so Sip and Cool off and maybe encounter a brain freeze ? lol I have a Yates "Core Punch Card" that the staff will punch every time I purchase a gallon of cider, then when the punch card is full... A FREE GALLON of Cider will Put a Smile on My Face and Enjoy! * Traffic alert of Roundabout completion to assist the lines of vehicles from May throughout Summer months and Fun Times in the Fall: Dequindre Rd. now has installed 2 Roundabouts to help with the flow of traffic so be aware, careful and courtesy when entering and leaving Yates Cider Mill and Yield!

Be Aware as Family: in order to enter the Funland section that has various Bounce Houses, Corn Maze&Petting Farm.

All need to pay adult price, but they're not allowed in the Funland section unless there is a 16-year-old or older with them.

I'd read their family story online beforehand- it's on their website- know it before you go and you'll love this place even more. Facebook fans said BEST donuts and I agree- Cinn/sugar, salted caramel iced, cider iced & vanilla iced! You can also cut flowers, ($9/jar), take a free tractor ride thru the orchard, pick your own apples, play in the hay or just hang out in the barn with your snacks. Bonus* website says dogs can be outside (picnic table area) but obv not in the orchard We will make a special stop here every time we are passing thru to Toledo- well worth it

All the employees were very helpful, paricularly the bearded fellow working the taps on the second floor. My wife and I shared a flight of ciders. They were all tasty, but our favorite was the cherry. We then each had on beer - both tasty. For food, the table shared pretzel bites and cheese curds. The curds were the real standout! Then we shared a veggie pizza with ham. Our kids each had the kids pizzas - one pepperoni and one meal lovers. All the pizzas were good, but the kids crust really excelled due to its fluffiness. Afterwards, we picked half a dozen donuts. Everyone enjoyed them - me choosing the raspberry jelly donut. Yum! Grounds are nice, lots of parking. Seems like they have concerts sometimes, as we saw advertisements for them. We had a great time!
