I want to keep sharing ways to explore Kansas City! Country roads! Local products! No lines! Cider Donuts! A friend recently reminded me that Louisburg Cider Mill, a local cider mill and country store, operates in all year long, not just in the fall! Cider donuts and cider slushes and apple cider seem like a good idea all the time, even in the summer!
Just a few miles down the road off 69 Highway sits this farm/mill in Louisburg, KS. It’s easy to spot. The feeling was quiet in the summer, unlike the fall, which is a bit refreshing because there are no lines. This place feels down home and family orientated and sort of old-timey.
We came on a Friday morning and the parking lot only had a few cars and we only saw one other family grabbing donuts and cider slushes. There are, however, still fresh donuts and friendly smiles inside the country store!
Head outside where there are tables and benches to enjoy your treats. There is something sweet about being out in the country, while still not being far from home.
We bought a dozen donuts for the three of us because we knew Dad would want some later on! And let’s be honest, we all needed at least three!
The kids picked out some Lost Trail Sodas that are made on site. There are so many flavors, it’s hard to choose! You can even assemble your own 4 or 6 pack!
The small country store offers all kinds of jams, dips, apple butter, pancake mixes, sodas, candy, apple cider, tea towels, and all things gift worthy. I picked up some dill dip mix to keep on hand!
The kids have already requested to go back for slushes and root beer floats the next time we go! You can see a full list of activities hosted by the cider mill on their website. It’s fun to think outside the “seasons” box we tend to live in! Let’s make cider donuts in the summer a thing!
