Fall Family Fun in New England: Be a Cranberry Farmer!

By September 6, 2019 March 2nd, 2022 No Comments

Looking for something new and fun this fall in New England? How about being a cranberry farmer for a day?
You’ll get to don a pair of overalls, grab a rake, and wade through the flooded cranberry bogs of rural Massachusetts, harvesting several tons of vitamin-rich red berries. This isn’t just for show—all locations are working farms and part of the Ocean Spray cooperative.
