Cranberry Harvest Near Bourne Farm
The cranberry bogs near Bourne Farm are among the oldest continuously operating cranberry bogs in Massachusetts. Because the bike path runs right by the bogs, they are very accessible. Harvest took place this past Sunday and Monday; here’s what it looked (and sounded) like. For a more detailed history of the bogs and nearby Bourne Farm, click here.
