Started by two brothers with a love for apples, Bird Dog Farm & Cider in Greenland hopes to carry on the tradition of cider-making that started on their farmland that dates back to the early 1700s. Not only is it a tribute to family and friends old and new, but it’s a spot to sample dry cider in their 1950s dairy barn-turned-tasting room, and pick-your-own bouquet of dahlias from the field planted by Fox Cottage Farm. birddogcider.com
