Silvia Wilburn

Silvia Wilburn is the Controller for Blake’s Orchard, Inc. and Blake’s Hard Cider Co., as well as the smaller Blake companies in Armada, Michigan. Working in a small company affords Silvia the opportunity to work with all of the different departments, from preparing financials to working with the Liquor Licensing agencies. She began her career in public accounting, preparing corporate, individual and payroll tax returns until coming to Blake’s in 2014. Over the past five years at Blake’s, she has seen the company grow from a regional farm to a company that sells hard cider in 18 different states. It has been an incredible experience, especially the fall weekends where people come from all over the area just to catch a glimpse of a working farm. One of Silvia’s favorite things to do is just walk the property and she feels fortunate to work in such an environment. Silvia lives in Bloomfield with her husband, Adam, two teenage children, Kevin and Lizzy, and their Bernie doodle puppy, Benny. She is a prolific reader, chocolate lover and enjoys knitting (albeit this she does very poorly).
