Looking for the best fresh Michigan Apple Cider

Blackhawk Fan · Sep 2, 2009

The family just spent the morning picking apples in Galien, but they had no apple cider. My grandmother came along and was disappointed in this. Is there anyplace I can get some online? I'm looking for fresh farm style cider. Thanks!

I took the liberty of calling my 3 favorite orchards near me for ya, and none of them ship.

I can always buy a gallon and freeze it for you and ship it to you, but I'm not sure if that will be very cost effective.

Do they not make Cider in Illinois at all? The three I called here, are all making fresh cider already

I appreciate that. There's cider here, but nothing like you guys have there. The best apples are from Michigan.

I found a place called Country Mill. they have a 1.5g jug of cider for $30 and that includes shipping. Sound reasonable?

ahhh we used to have the Best Hockey team too LOL

WOW $30!! I guess with shipping it's not too bad for roughly 12 lbs of cider, but normally you can get a gallon of fresh cider for around $7. So figure 1.5 gallons is around $10, and $20 to ship.

You guys signed Bertuzzi again. I was disappointed that a classy orginization signed that scum bag the first time around, but why again? Yuk! You'll get used to second place in the central for the next 10 years.

Well the cider is for my grandmother and she's getting up there so it's just money ya know? It'll be worth every penny for her enjoyment of fresh Michigan apple cider. LOL!

I'm just happy to have a team that can compete with you guys for a change. The last 15 years has been hell for me. Hopefully we can have a nice civil hockey thread when the season starts. I love hockey!
