Cider Destinations Span Five U.S. States

The articles spotlight five U.S. destinations where cider is a central part of a local outing: Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge, Georgia; Right Bee Cider in Chicago; Fun Farm in Kearney, Missouri; Milk & Honey Ciders in St. Joseph, Minnesota; and MacQueen Orchards in Holland, Ohio. Together, they present cider experiences ranging from orchard and farm visits to urban taproom stops, set in distinctive surroundings from mountain scenery and flower fields to industrial Chicago and a relaxed Minnesota porch. The Georgia and Missouri features emphasize orchard or farm settings, while Ohio’s MacQueen Orchards is especially noted for its cider slushies. The Chicago and Minnesota articles focus on welcoming cidery spaces and locally made cider.
