with music and food supplied by Hawkes and Reeds, the local performing arts center. West County Cider has been part of the Greenfield landscape since 1984, inspiring a popular regional event called Cider Days, the original cider making festival in the United States.“We started it, and then it got too big for us, so Cider Days was taken over by the chamber and run through Greenfield for many years,” explains owner Field Maloney. “The number of people who keep coming back makes me happy. We’ve got one of the more beautiful views in Franklin County. You can see Vermont, New Hampshire, and Connecticut from here. We plant lots of gardens and flowers to make it really nice for people.” Along with its events and festivals, Greenfield offers a wealth of outdoor attractions that add to its appeal. With more than a dozen parks scattered throughout the town, including a state-of-the-art skate park and newly added bocce courts, residents and visitors can enjoy ample opportunities for recreation surrounded by the beauty of the area. 39 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 04 GREENFIELD, MA
