<p>Pete Endres grew up dreaming of owning a farm.</p><p>And when his mother passed away in 2011, Pete and his brothers decided they wanted to not only own a farm, but to open up a cidery on said property.</p><p>Pete, who later moved to the Seacoast in the mid-2010s, spent years searching for the perfect property until, finally, he found it in 2019.</p><p>That farm? It&#39;s now home to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/birddogcider/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠Bird Dog Cider⁠</a> in Greenland, N.H., which formally opened its doors in the fall of 2024.</p><p>From the cozy confines of Bird Dog, Pete sits down with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/troy_farkas/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠host Troy Farkas⁠</a> to discuss the blood, sweat, and tears poured into revitalizing the once-dilapidated farm, the family atmosphere that defines Bird Dog, and having lines out the door the day they opened their barn doors to the public. </p><p>Plus, getting chased by a sea lion, and even the MURDER that took place on the farm!?</p><p>CHAPTERS:</p><ul><li>Troy checks in from the middle of nowhere (00:00)</li><li>Getting chased by a sea lion (06:00)</li><li>The (sad) motivation for opening Bird Dog (08:10)</li><li>America&#39;s up-and-down love affair with cider (12:06)</li><li>Turning a run-down Seacoast farm into a cidery (19:34)</li><li>SPONSORS: Dermatology &amp; Skin Health + Chinburg Properties (29:20)</li><li>Why Bird Dog is focused on staying local (31:54)</li><li>Lines out the door in fall 2024 (38:40)</li><li>Balancing Bird Dog with a full-time job (43:00)</li><li>The murder that happened on the farm (01:01:40)</li></ul><p>To learn more about Bird Dog&#39;s ciders and summer plans, visit their website <a href="https://www.birddogcider.com/?srsltid=AfmBOop0J4F0dzlwH8Vymm6d8yysk78rUXNfB9-j1efvHCvmEOAL39dh" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
