Philadelphia, PAApple Cider Donuts

Philadelphia Magazine puts this Delaware County farm on its cider donut list and says it comes into its own in autumn, when a mountain of pumpkins takes over and the fresh pressed cider flows. The farm market in Media keeps a counter the orchard itself lists as Cider and Doughnuts, with a bakery, a garden center and hayrides on the same ground, and the market runs 8 to 6 daily through the season. Order cider and doughnuts at the market counter while the pressing is running.

Philadelphia Magazine's cider donut guide sends readers to the bakery at this West Chester orchard. In September 2026 the magazine reported that an April freeze cut the Pennsylvania apple crop, and Highland manager Jeremy Zeager said to expect limited hours and far fewer than the fifty apple varieties the farm usually carries, though hayrides, the corn maze and other crops are running. The farm market and bakery open Tuesday through Sunday and close on Monday. Call ahead this season, then order the cider doughnuts at the bakery counter.

The farm store at this Bucks County orchard sells apple cider donuts with no reservation, Philadelphia Magazine notes, even in seasons when the picking rows need one. After the April 2026 freeze the magazine quotes Nathaniel Woosley of Solebury saying the farm still has pumpkins and still has doughnuts, and that nothing stops them making cider ice, which the magazine describes as cider meeting water ice. The market keeps seasonal hours Thursday to Sunday, 9 to 6, into October. Order the doughnuts and a cider ice.

Philadelphia Magazine frames this Bucks County farm as a place to pick up staples like milk in old timey glass bottles and local wines, then stay for a sandwich and one or three apple cider donuts while you walk the garden center. The farm's holiday light show starts in November, so the doughnut window and the lights overlap for a few weeks at the end of the season. Order a sandwich and a bag of cider donuts, and eat them before you reach the garden center.

Philadelphia Magazine calls this the only working farm in Cherry Hill and the shortest trip from the city on its cider donut list. The bakery turns out a wide range of pies and pastries alongside the apple cider donuts, which the farm says come warm out of its own kitchen each morning, and the farm runs a corn maze in autumn that the magazine says to leave time for. The market opens seven days a week, 8 to 6. Order a bag of cider donuts and walk the maze afterward.
