An experiment in learning to Blog.

Well, here we are with my first successful photo insertion into my blog!

Hopefully sometime in the next 12-18 months Michigan Meadery will actually be producing a mead you can buy from your local specialty wine store.

2006 was a crazy busy year getting the organizational documents in place, the business plan outlined, and applying for grant funding - which we were very politely denied.

So our search for a suitable location from which to start has returned to square one, but we are taking the opportunity to completely rethink how and where we will get Michigan Meadery rolling.

In the mean time, stop by Mayfaire, or the Derbyshire Renaissance Faire this Spring. You can't buy our mead there, but we will be performing live demonstrations on making an orange spiced mead, and you can buy all the equipment you would need to start a 1, 3 or 6 gallon batch.

Celebrate with us the Renaissance of an ancient beverage.

Cheers!

It can't be 2007 already!

Ok, so I'm still working on my 2002 HoneyDo list... time still marches on!

The Michigan Meadery newsletter might get out in time for our introduction to Mayfaire.


This year will be our second year in the Renaissance Fair circuit. Last year our debut was at the Derbyshire Ren Fair at the Muskegon County Fairgrounds. This will be our first year at Mayfaire.

We are looking forward to more meadmaking classes/demonstrations, and we will be selling our kits in 1, 3 and 6 gallon. This year we will also have a wonderful blend of honey available to make your mead with as well.
