John and Abigail Adams grew apples and made cider on their farm.
“In conformity to the fashion I drank this Morning and Yesterday Morning, about a Jill of Cyder. It seems to do me good, by diluting and dissolving the Phlegm or the Bile in the Stomach.” - Diary of John Adams
Apple orchards are a staple in New England. Here behind Peace field are a variety of apples that could have been found during John and Abigail Adams’s time. In John’s letters to Abigail he laments that he is unable to drink the cider Abigail made from their orchards.
Be careful while walking through the orchard. Ticks can be found in the grassy area. Keep an eye out for falling "Adams Apples."
