There’s a certain magic in the air when fall arrives at Reston Farm Garden Market. The crisp mornings, the vibrant colors of mums and pumpkins, and, of course, the unmistakable aroma of our freshly baked apple cider donuts. It’s a seasonal tradition that brings families from all over Virginia to our little corner of Reston, and it’s a story we love to share.
For many, a visit to our market isn't complete without picking up a warm, cinnamon-sugar-dusted apple cider donut. It’s more than just a treat; it’s a taste of autumn itself.
The Story of Our Apple Cider Donuts
Our apple cider donuts have become a local legend, but their story is a simple one, rooted in a love for classic, homemade flavors. We make them fresh every single day, ensuring each donut is as delicious as the last. The secret isn't complicated—it's about using quality ingredients and a recipe perfected over time to create a cake-style donut that is perfectly moist, spiced, and sweet.
The moment you bite into one, you get the subtle tang of apple cider, followed by the comforting warmth of cinnamon and sugar. It’s the perfect companion to a hot coffee as you wander through the pumpkin patch or browse our garden center. The popularity of these donuts has grown year after year, and they’ve become a cherished part of the fall experience for our community.
