I attended this year's Sunflower Festival and could not believe a ticket just to get in was $14 and did not include sunflowers! The $14 fee is to walk through several rows of vendors selling things you get to see for free at plenty of local farmers' markets and fall festivals. You need to pay extra to pick sunflowers. I didn't buy it but I think the slushie with whipped cream topped with a donut was around $12, which is absolutely nuts. None of the drinks here are that large. Some years ago I went to the haunted house. I remember that the haunted house didn't take too long to walk through. It's always fun to go to pretty much any cider mill in the state in the fall, Blake's is no exception. My point is that there are many other more authentic less commercialized cider mills in the area that are worth visiting and where you get more bang for your buck.

They also sell cooked polish sausage and sauerkraut to enjoy while making your own because who wants to wait a month to taste the yummy homemade sauerkraut. You can bring your own bucket or buy one for $6. They also have a good selection of cabbage cauliflower broccoli onions and potatoes for available for purchase.

I have spent more time going to farms to get my groceries directly from the source. I enjoy getting…read moresome fresh air in the countryside and supporting local farmers. I'm not a huge fan of milk nor do I drink it often, but Crooked Creek would be the place to buy milk if you are looking for dairy products free of antibiotics. Crooked Creek's milk is hormone/steroid-free and the cows are fed vegetarian feed with non-GMO corn and hay. Crooked Creek is a must-visit on any farm tour of northern Macomb County. Calves welcome you in their pens as you enter the farm. Besides being able to feed the cows and goats, the store offers delicious ice cream, Crooked Creek milk, fudge, chocolate bars, and other locally made foodstuffs.

Brookwood is one of my favorite low-key orchards to visit in the autumn. It isn't commercialized…read morewith overpriced goods and there aren't long lines and throngs of children. There is nothing fancy about Brookwood. This is just a really great farm along a quiet country road that has belonged to the same family for over a century. Come here if you are looking for a peaceful day spent picking fruit or for a short stop to buy delicious donuts, apples, and cider. An oversized Homer Simpson doll welcomes you as you enter the store. A very kind young woman was working there the day I visited and she told me that the orchards were opened. Other than the orchards there is only the small store. Again, nothing fancy, but what matters is the quality of the products which I thought was excellent. There isn't hot apple cider but there is cold apple cider in the fridge and a slushie machine where you can fill your own slushie cup for $2. The cup provided was twice as large as the slushie I bought at Franklin Cider Mill for a whopping $4. I could tell that there are no preservatives added to Brookwood's cider. The cider was excellent and perhaps some of the best I have tasted, and I've been to a lot of cider mills this season. I will definitely return to Brookwood and continue to support this family business.

We went to Blake's Big Apple last night for the haunted hayride. The attractions are very expensive…read moreand I wasn't that impressed but it was okay. On the haunted hayride we had a young woman who was in charge of our wagon and she was a bit over the top with giving instructions and being bossy. I think if she wasn't so annoying I would have given more stars for the whole event, but she was really a downer. They stop half way through the hayride to give you cider and donuts which was really good. The hayride wasn't that scary so don't worry about your kids being scared. I would have liked at least one scream!

It's a great time at Blake's. You can enjoy all of the festivities for the fall season my friends…read moreand I went in a large group and did a package deal for the haunted hayride, a walk-through haunted house, as well as the area with animals. I have to say the real draw is the cider and donuts however you feel like a kid when you go. It's definitely for everyone and it's perfect for a family experience, but I have to say it makes a wonderful night out for grown-ups too. And they have a great system that makes it quick and easy to purchase what you want as you have gone through all of the fun haunting areas. You don't have to wait forever to buy your donuts and cider. Best of all, they also offer cider slush. Make sure that Blake's Big Apple is a stop for your fall festivities.

It's hard to find a steak that's cooked properly- especially a filet... And it was cooked to *perfection*. Also, the scenery is breathtaking. The lavender and wildflowers were soooo beautiful. And the smell of the lavender plants is heavenly!!! We kept it simple and brought a blanket, a little table, and some drinks. Some people brought tables and chairs, but I think it was way better sitting on the ground picnic style! Every person working was SO friendly and took great care of us. Everything about it was top notch and we will definitely be back!!!
