Labor Day weekend is upon us, which means we will soon be inundated with all things pumpkin spice.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret about myself. I’m not a fan of the pumpkin spice life, give me hot apple cider any day of the week.

Seeing as Autumn is soon upon us, we wanted to give you a rundown of fifteen orchards and cider mills around Metro Detroit.

### **Macomb County**

### **Blake’s Apple Orchard**

When you think of apple orchards in the tri-county you [Blake’s](http://blakefarms.com/?ref=dailydetroit.com) is probably the first one that pops into your head. Between Blake’s Cider Mill, Blake’s Big Apple and the Almont Garden Center there are plenty of chances to pick up your apple cider (both leaded and unleaded) and donuts.

### **Miller’s Big Red Farms**

When you go to [Yates](https://www.yatescidermill.com/?ref=dailydetroit.com) you’re walking into a bygone era. One where water wheels powered mills. You’ll find donuts, cider, a petting zoo, and a nice trail along the river.

Technically [DeBuck’s](http://www.debuckscornmaze.com/index.php?ref=dailydetroit.com) is not a “cider mill” but they serve cider and donuts. What they lack in a cider mill they make up for in the way of a 15 acre corn maze and pumpkin patch. They also have some pretty cool looking attractions like Human Fooseball.

DeBuck’s will open for the season on September 16.

*DeBuck’s is located at 50240 Martz Road Belleville, Michigan 48111*
