Located at 255 Elmwood Road, the tasting room will be open from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, and 1 to 5:30 p.m. Saturday. It’s closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Portersfield Cider serves flights of cider paired with seasonal foods from local producers, including the farm’s own fields. A full flight of four, 4-ounce pours costs $12. Cider is available by the bottle for $7.50 and $12.50. A 1-ounce pour of any cider is free.
A mezze plate is available for $6, and cheese plates and smoked fish plates cost $8.
