The first weekend in November is Franklin County, Massachussetts’ Cider Day, which brings together a bunch of local orchards and experts in the name of all things cider. We spent a lovely, postcard-perfect day at New Salem Orchards, learning how to make cider and enjoying goodies like cider donuts and squash-apple soup.
