Autumn in Grand Rapids means a trip to Robinette's Apple Haus, a family-operated landmark since 1911. One of the last remaining farm holdouts in a commercial corridor increasingly being developed for big box shopping centers, Robinette's today is as much a tourist attraction as a working orchard. Resident vlogger Andy Dragt explores the cultural significance of hayrides, apple cider, donuts and, in a recent development, hard cider, mead and some award-winning wines.
