We visited Blake's cider mill, which as made a business making all sorts of products, far beyond cider. They make wine, hard cider, baked goods, breads, jams, roasted almonds, and donuts to name a few.

They have a store on site for visitors to bring home some farm products.

We toured the facility where they make and bottle the cider. It wasn't in production when we visited, but it was all there.

It takes a lot of cups of cider to accommodate everyone. Nine children and four adults makes quite a crowd!

Blake's hard cider has become very popular in Michigan and elsewhere. My favorite product is the "American Apple" hard cider. Have to be careful with this one, at 8% ABV you're not going to slam a bunch of these down. My favorite way to enjoy these is in a glass with ice mixed 50/50 with carbonated water.

They also have a wide variety of fruit flavored wines, but they are very expensive.

Beautiful apples were for sale, but again it's more of a novelty purchase as our family would go through this basket of apples very quickly. $14 for a half peck is quite spendy.

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.
