Moms Who Show Up For ‘Nurse-In’

Welcomed At Fly Creek Cider Mill

Brenda Michaels, owner of the Fly Creek Cider Mill, talks with Emily Ryan, who came from Erieville to rally moms at a "Nurse-In" at the Fly Creek Cider Mill.  "I nursed my daughter here," said Michaels.  "We are a family-friendly store."  The nurse-in, which was attended by a half-dozen moms, had been prompted by a Facebook post in which a nursing mother was asked to cover up at the store.  An apology was issued by Michaels  on Facebook shortly after the incident.
