A Hard Cider
is Good to Find

At Vander Mill, we’re not just making cider. We’re capturing stories—the kind shared around worn wooden tables, between friends who know the weight of honest labor. Our ciders are born from generations of Michigan soil, where every apple carries the wisdom of hard-earned tradition.

Our Promise

We press our apples like we live our lives — with intention, respect, and a deep connection to the ground beneath our feet.

From orchard to glass, we’re proud to share cider that’s honest and bold, made for people who appreciate a drink well-earned after a day’s hard work. Everything we make is sourced from Michigan orchards and pressed right here, because anything worth doing is worth doing with your whole heart.

Locally Sourced

Michigan apples grown in Michigan’s rich soil by farmers who know their craft. From orchard to press, it’s pure Michigan through and through.

Artisan Crafted

Pressed and fermented with respect for tradition, letting each apple’s character shine through. No shortcuts, just honest craft in every batch.

Transparent Process

You’re not looking for a bunch of strange words in the ingredient list, and we don’t want to put those in our cider. It’s fermented Michigan apples. Easy as that.
