Pete Endres grew up dreaming of owning a farm.

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.

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.

That farm? It's now home to ⁠Bird Dog Cider⁠ in Greenland, N.H., which formally opened its doors in the fall of 2024.

From the cozy confines of Bird Dog, Pete sits down with ⁠host Troy Farkas⁠ 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.

Plus, getting chased by a sea lion, and even the MURDER that took place on the farm!?
