Thursday August 21st at 4:00 our friends from BIRD DOG CIDER will be here at Junction 71 offering tastings of two of their fabulous ciders. Bird Dog is a family operation started by two brothers with a love for apples and a lot of help from good friends. They grew up on a farm in the heart of Western New York State apple country, which their dad still operates. He has 130 acres of the best eating apples and classic cider varieties like Kingston Black, Dabinett, Porter’s Perfection, Yarlington Mill, and Golden Russet. Currently their ciders are made from apples that come from there.
Adjacent to Great Bay with rich soils, Bird Dog Farm & Cidery is located on farm land that dates to the early 1700s. For most of its colonial history the farm was pasture land and dairy. A 1950s dairy barn houses the cidery and tasting room. Some wild apple trees dot the landscape, and in May 2022 they planted their first orchard. They now have 2,000 trees in a high-density, trellised orchard. They are expanding the orchard each year. In the next few years they will harvest more apples for cider making and branch out into pick-your-own. The farm is certified organic.
