Fall Attractions
So much fun for the entire family! Delicious wood fired pizzas and hard ciders in the Tasting Room and yummy homemade donuts and sweet treats in the bakery. The playground and petting zoo are great for the kiddos, and the store has lots of neat treasures. Our family loves Knaebe's and visits every fall!
Knaebe's is located in Roger's City, but worth the drive!
