Cranberry Harvest

We had quite a bit of fun last week when Papa John and Grandmama came to visit. We took a great trip to New Hampshire, but today we're going to tell you about the Cranberry Harvest we saw on Sunday. Cranberries are one of those signature things about the Cape, and New England, so we had to go see a large cranberry farm just off-Cape when they opened the operation up to everyone. 

Sarah found a new mode of transportation

Once there, we took a big school bus up the hill to the bog.

A cranberry bog. Just like the commercials.

They gather the berries after they've flooded the bog and the berries have floated to the surface.

 

Then they send them up this belt, much like the grinder at Dad's mine.

It was much fun, even better to enjoy with family. These warm fall days are quickly coming to a close, so it was especially nice to enjoy the weather!
