Southern Living Magazine has rated them as the best apple cider donuts in the South. The farm has been making its famous donuts the same way for 30 years, using a time-honed recipe of donut flour and homemade apple cider.
Speaking of apple cider, don't forget to sample some while you visit. In addition to traditional cider, there's also hard cider that pairs perfectly with the donuts.
