Cranberry Impact
Massachusetts is home to 300+ cranberry farmers, 14,000+ acres of cranberry bogs, and 65,000+ acres of associated open space. Learn what's happening on cranberry farms this time of year.
The majority of cranberry varieties are harvested in October. By the end of the month 95% of berries will have been harvested.
Harvest season comes to an end. The bogs begin to go dormant and growers start their off-season maintenance program.
