Apple orchards and pumpkin patches usually dominate the fall travel circuit. But on Cape Cod, locals celebrate the bogs.
Each fall, Massachusetts’ iconic cranberry bogs transform for harvest season.
They offer travelers a colorful, distinctly New England alternative to the usual apple-picking getaway.
Shake up your classic fall getaway
Wequassett Resort & Golf Club gives guests an exclusive look inside the Cape Cod cranberry harvest. The resort teams up with Hall’s Cape Cod Cranberries, an eighth-generation family farm in North Harwich.
Guests walk the working bogs right alongside members of the Hall family. You learn the exact difference between wet and dry harvesting methods.
You also discover the deep history and traditions behind one of Massachusetts’ most famous crops. It all happens during the short, beautiful window when the bogs flood for the season.
Make it a full autumn weekend
This unique excursion pairs perfectly with a fall stay at Wequassett. Back at the resort, you can easily build a full weekend itinerary.
Guests enjoy oyster shell decoupage workshops and bike rides among the changing leaves. You can also go fall birdwatching across the property.
Finally, end your evening with a seasonal dinner at the Forbes Five-Star twenty-eight Atlantic.
Skip the crowded pumpkin patch this year. Cape Cod’s cranberry harvest offers a colorful, under-the-radar way to experience fall in New England. It delivers a rich local story that goes much deeper than the berry itself.
