I think it was two years ago I had a client in here and it somehow came out that we own these fields and around the corner from some of them is this little cider mill. Somehow it led from there to the fact that my wife has some past knowledge of orchards up in the north of Michigan and the use of smudge pots. Well come that Spring we were having some really bad weather and a late freeze threatening all the fruit here. LSS, client called our office with a request from the cider mill fella for more info on smudge pots.
