What to expect on your adventure
Your Berry Bog Adventure will last approximately 2 hours and include hands on in the bog cranberry harvest experience, talk with the growers, demonstration of antique harvest equipment, fresh cranberries, and some cranberry inspired snacks and beverages!
Upon your arrival we'll get you situated into your waders and enjoy some cranberry snacks before we head off to see harvest in action and experience the Bogger life! We’ll then head out to the bogs to chat with the cranberry grower, get into the harvest action and of course snap some crantastic pics.
Following all the bog action you’ll head back to the Barn to enjoy a demonstration of antique harvest equipment where each guest will receive their own supply of fresh cranberries to take home and enjoy!
If anyone in your party has any allergies or accessibility issues, please let us know and we will do our best to meet your needs!
Ages: Our Berry Bog Adventures are for ages 13 plus due to water levels and safety. For younger ages, please check out our Berry Bog Family Photo Op Day on October 7th or our Berry Bog Photo Op add on option at our Harvest Crews & Brews event on October 5th.
