Evans Orchard & Cider Mill
Cider mill · Georgetown · Kentucky
Just outside Lexington, Evans Orchard presses its own cider and fries apple pies and doughnuts to go with it, then lets you walk off the sugar with pick-your-own fruit and a fall corn maze. It is a working farm first, so expect real orchard rows rather than a paved parking-lot version of the season.
