- August – Cranberry Bog Tours (information taken from Cape Cod Cranberry Growers’ Association) Cranberry harvest is something to see! We open weekends in October for individuals to view cranberry harvest. Tours are 60-90 minutes and depart from our barn in Carver. Depending on the harvest location, most groups will board buses to be transported to an active harvest. If our Carver host bog is harvesting, the tour will happen at that location. All groups will be brought up close to the wet harvest to see floating berries in one or more of the various harvest stages which can include picking, racking or loading. Due to the nature of the harvest, we cannot guarantee which stage will be shown on any given day. Please note, our public tours do NOT involve getting into a flooded bog. https://www.cranberries.org/visit
