What’s on Your Menu for February 7th

So, there’s this game happening on Sunday, February 7th that every Midwesterner is going to have their TV’s tuned in to. Whether you are a die hard football fan, or you sit on the couch checking Facebook or TikTok as your husband is yelling at the TV; you know about this infamous Sunday that happens once a year.

This year is different in two ways. First, we are still in a pandemic so having the big get together with family and friends will probably not be happening. Secondly, the Kansas City Chiefs are playing in the biggest game of their lifetime for the second year in a row! That in it’s self is just amazing and so exciting to experience.

It’s now time to get to the real subject at hand and that is..what are you going to be making for this festive evening? You have a little over a week to plan your menu and have your “football spread” ready.

Let the planning begin…

Are you thinking snacks for the game, a meal, OR both. Here are some great ideas to help you get started.

BBQ – messy but oh so good! Little Smokies are always a hit with the kid’s. Potatoes seasoned with garlic and dipped in Srirarcha dip, with a side of country coleslaw are the perfect sides for BBQ.

Or, maybe just some soup and crackers so you can save room for donuts later. When it comes to our apple cider donuts there’s no need in saying anything fancy. They speak for themselves.

You can’t forget about dessert, how about some apple butter bars or a slice of Lost Trail Root Beer Float Pie. Or just keep it simple, the kids will love making root beer floats, especially when they get to drink the rest of the Lost Trail Root Beer from the bottle. Sparkling Apple Cider is a light and refreshing drink to enjoy with your food, but our apple cider is just as good, especially when mixed with rum.

No matter what you end up making for your family and friends, enjoy the day and cheer on the those CHIEFS!

Fall Traditions Made to Last

For 40+ years, leaves on our trees change from a fresh summer green to bright hues of red and orange, as if nature itself is announcing “Let the fall traditions begin!”

Hot, muggy summer days become a faint memory when the first bite of cool, crisp air sets in. The fall season brings together families, friends, and communities; Friday night lights, bonfires and s’mores, camping with friends, and that first warm cup of Louisburg Apple Cider are all part of what makes this season so memorable.

This time of the year is always a favorite for us and thousands of our returning visitors because there really is nothing quite like autumn at Louisburg Cider Mill.

Making memories at Louisburg Cider Mill

At Louisburg Cider Mill, our family and staff have worked hard to prepare for the fall season. To us, it’s not just another season on the calendar; it’s a time to celebrate both old and new traditions and make lifelong memories.

Every year, we look forward to watching vehicles flood our parking lot as families, friends, and loved ones make their appearance for opening day at Louisburg Cider Mill. The sight of kids smiling and beaming with joy while approaching the grounds of the Cider Mill is something we never get tired of seeing. It’s a day we’ve all been waiting for and always a sign that great times and great memories are ahead.
