Hooray for fall! Autumn always brings with it so many special treats — from hayrides to pumpkin patches to fresh apple cider and donuts. We’re pretty lucky to have so many cider mills and farms in the state that host fall festivities and celebrations — like this cider mill in Pennsylvania that serves fresh apple cider donuts and apple cider. But, that’s just the beginning of the fun.
Start planning your fall calendar and make sure you add a trip to Ritter’s Cider Mill in Jefferson Township to your to-do list.

…watching as the apples transform into freshly-pressed cider. You’ll see the entire process of making the cider and have the opportunity to drink a cup straight from the press.
Facebook/Ritter’s Cider Mill The cider mill typically presses cider until 1 p.m. on the weekends. However, there may also be times cider is made during the week. Check with the farm prior to visiting to ensure the cider press will be operating when you visit.
The charming apple cider mill also offers a full menu of fun fall activities. Snap photos of the kiddos in the picture cut-outs (pictured below), for example.
