Bird Dog Cider Owner on Hyper-Local Focus, Cider's Glow-Up, & the Murder That Happened There?! (RE-AIR)

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 [https://www.instagram.com/birddogcider/] 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 [https://www.instagram.com/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!?

Cody Whelan⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/cswhelan/] was miserable. Feeling purposeless in his geology career, he came home after work every day tired, irritable, and wondering why he was still putting himself through this.

“We Don’t Need More Fire” No. 1 Seacoast Yoga Teacher on Our HECTIC Lives & the Lost Art of Communication!

Ankati Day [https://www.instagram.com/ankatiday/] is arguably the top yoga teacher on the Seacoast. A Maine native, the 42-year-old instructor graduated yoga teacher training 15 years ago in the jungles of Costa Rica. After living in the forest, she moved back to the Seacoast in 2015 to pursue yoga as a full-time career. These days, she currently teaches at 3 Bridges Yoga [https://www.3bridgesyoga.com/], Shilo Farm, and Studio One [https://studioonecycling.com/]. Additionally, she leads worldwide yoga retreats and hosts ecstatic dance [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXyAhVK1CCs] at Four Bodies Wellness every month. In the Season 4 Finale, Day rejoins the show in another installment of "The Follow-Up," where popular past guests return to the show. From the cozy confines of Shilo Farm in Eliot, Maine, Day and host Troy Farkas [https://www.instagram.com/troy_farkas/] discuss the lost art of communication, how the 21st century is disconnecting us from our bodies, misconceptions of yoga teachers, and where the healing industry has it wrong these days. Plus, why Studio One stands above all other Seacoast fitness establishments, and an inside look into the magic of ecstatic dance!
