Seasonal Donut Schedule
Our freshly cooked, hot and delicious donuts are a fan favorite around the Orchard and during the summer months, we theme them out to match the fruit harvest! While apple cider will always steal our hearts, check out the other flavors coming to Granny’s Goodies this summer. During May-August, we will only have donuts available on Saturdays from 10-3pm, but come September-December, we’ll have them available every Saturday (10-4pm) and Sunday (1-4:30pm).
May: Strawberry Donuts (However, on Memorial Day Weekend, we will be switching to Apple Cider for our 20th anniversary)
June: Blueberry Donuts
July: Peach Donuts
August - December: Apple Cider Donuts
