Located in Armada, Michigan, Blake's Orchard & Cider Mill is a rustic wedding venue with splendid views of the lush countryside. This property began its life as Blake Farms, established in 1946 by Gerald and Lovey Blake. Home to 13 kids, the resident three-bedroom farmhouse was bustling with activity. Twin brothers Pete and Paul Blake returned to their childhood home after graduating from university. They aimed to grow what their parents had built, and Paul's son, Andrew, followed a similar path. Andrew returned to the farm after university, just like his father, with a desire to expand into the production of hard cider. With his family's blessing, he began this endeavor, founding Blake's Hard Cider in 2013.
