Dexter: Cider Mill

The Dexter Cider Mill is among Michigan’s many orchard businesses that are struggling after this year’s weather decimated about 90% of the apple crop, according to a Detroit Free Press article. From the report: ”The Dexter Cider Mill is buying apples and trying to pass on as little of the price increase as possible to customers, but it’s a tough balancing act, said owner Richard Koziski. He said he is concerned that smaller orchard businesses won’t be able to compete with the mass merchandisers this year. ‘This is a tradition that we want to preserve,’ Koziski said. ‘And we want to protect our business.’” [Source]
