Apple cider is the lifeblood of autumn; it’s the distilled essence of falling leaves and temperatures. Cider doughnuts are a fall staple all around New England, but Rhode Island has some of the best. But the cherry on the (apple) cake is the Mary Lou’s Old Fashion Apple Cider doughnut. Not even a global pandemic could stop the farm from making its apple cider doughnuts and keeping the family tradition alive. This orchard is known for being the first in Rhode Island to make cider doughnuts — all the more reason to pay them a visit.
