Motor City Canoe and Kayak Rental -FR Our Home Town Business of the Month-August 2018
Motor City Canoe and Kayak rental opened in Flat Rock in 2016. Owners Alex Knoch and John Blevins think that Flat Rock is the perfect location combing retro style with old town charm.
Alex came up with idea as there was really no place downriver to canoe or kayak. Alex was a Boy Scout and had worked with the scouts up north for years with canoeing and kayaking. His friends asked him where they could rent canoes and kayaks in the area and seeing none south of Ann Arbor, Alex decided to open a place since there was a significant need.
Their location at Atwater near HuRoc Park in Flat Rock is the perfect entry point. Patrons can do a short 2 hour trip to Dodge Park or a longer 5 hour trip to Lake Erie.
Flat Rock Our Hometown (FROH) is excited to highlight Motor City Canoe and Kayak to our business community. It’s a perfect addition to our downtown that highlights why Flat Rock is quickly becoming a destination and recreation hub downriver. Just a note, it’s nice to have young business owners invest in our city, Alex is only 26 and now successfully runs other locations on top of starting in Flat Rock.
During the month of August, Motor City Canoe and Kayak is offering rent one get the other rental half off, Monday thru Thursday.

Flat Rock Our Hometown – Business of the Month of June 2018
Calder Dairy was originally established in 1946 by William Graham Stewart Calder. Using his bonus check from the Air Force, Bill Calder bought the dairy’s first delivery truck 12-year-old used laundry truck. Total sales for the first day were $17.88!
Milk was purchased from surrounding dairy farms then processed and bottled at the plant at 1020 Southfield Road in Lincoln Park, Michigan. Home delivery was available throughout the Downriver Area.
As the years went by, a farm was purchased in Carleton, Michigan. Originally the farm was to be a weekend retreat for the family and eventually a spot to retire to. However, a Brown Swiss Cow was purchased to help keep the grass short he had a calf and from there we steadily built up a herd of Holstein, Brown Swiss and most recently Jersey Cows. Gradually, the Calder herd continued to grow and today we milk 140 cows. All of our cows are fed a high quality, home grown forage and grain diet with lots of T.L.C. added. The Farm now supplies most of Calder Dairy’s milk needs.
In recent years we had to replace our fleet of Divco Trucks with more modern delivery trucks; unmistakable with their big Holstein black markings and bold “Calder” logo. The trucks may be new but we continue to make home deliveries just like in the “old days”. Over 60 years later we are still following Bill’s vision. Generations have appreciated Bill’s dedication, warm smile, and tremendous sense of humor.
Sadly, we lost our founder and family patriarch William G.S. Calder at the age of 94, on February 16th, 2011. Today the operations at both the dairy and the farm are still overseen by the family. The Calder family continues to strive for excellence in order to produce premium products with pride while keeping the company small enough to control the quality of the product from our family to yours.
Calder Dairy opened the much-anticipated Flat Rock store in December of 2017 just in time for the Christmas holiday season (Mmmm…eggnog!)
They are planning a Grand Opening celebration for June 23, 2018. Visit Calder Dairy in Flat Rock at 28190 Telegraph or call 734-984-6985.
As the days get longer, Calder Dairy is extending their hours to satisfy that summer ice cream craving! Watch their sign for hours!
