With a desire to explore farming, in 1946 Gerald and Lovey Blake moved their family of 13 kids out of the suburbs and on to a hundred-acre plot of land in Armada, MI with a 3-bedroom farmhouse.
Twin brothers, Pete and Paul Blake, returned after graduating from Michigan State with an interest in growing what their family had built over the years, adding more diverse experiences for visitors.
Years later, Paul’s son, Andrew Blake, who had grown up working on the farm with his family, returned to Armada with a desire to explore hard cider. With his family’s blessing and support, Andrew founded Blake’s Hard Cider in 2013.
