Rochester Cider Mill

A family-run cider mill in Rochester (Oakland County), owned by the Barkham family since 1981, open daily 9 a.m.-6 p.m. from Labor Day weekend through New Year's Eve (last day of the 2026 season is Dec. 31; closed Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day). All family activities are free: a petting farm with lambs, piglets, chickens and a turkey (open 9 a.m.-6 p.m.), a giant straw pyramid with slides, antique farm equipment and picnic tables. Activities are generally available through early November, weather permitting; by late November the focus moves indoors to seasonal baked goods and cider. Free parking.
