Cranberry Bog Tours - Harwich, Massachusetts

It was very interesting and informative. I absolutely hated the stinky, musty bus, but everything else was great.

When we boarded the bus, the front seat behind the driver was empty, but I thought, no, there's a solid wall, we won't be able to see anything. WRONG. That was the only good seat on the bus. I could have seen out the door, and had some fresh air. But no. Sad.

It was raining so none of the windows were clear enough to see through, let alone take pictures. I finally moved so that I could take some pictures because we were on the left side of the bus, but the tour goes clockwise around the bog.

It was a long time in that bus. I wish we could have gotten out at the stops instead of just sitting there breathing carbon monoxide. The dog was super sweet and cute, though.

Once we were able to escape our stinky prison, the presentation in the shed was amazing. I mean, really really good. We learned so much about cranberries! I ate my first raw cranberries, which I had always been told would be bitter and nasty, but were frozen and delicious. She also passed around freshly dried, sweetened cranberries, also yum, and a round of refreshing freezer pops.

If I hadn't been tortured to sit in that stinky bus for an hour, this would totally be a five star review. I just can't get past being trapped in there for that long. It was unacceptable.

A note about admission. There's a question below about purchasing tickets in advance. You pay when you get there, but you do need reservations, so call at least a day in advance.

This was the highlight of our week on the Cape. Our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining and professional and there were doggos along on the tour. We learned a lot about Cranberry production and got a sample. So fun! For sure book ahead as this is very popular.

I will never look at the cranberry sauce on my Thanksgiving table the same again. Who knew there was so much hardwork that goes on behind the scenes just to get cranberry sauce

The tour was very informative and Andrea was great!! She is very knowledgeable and eloquent at articulating all the work that goes along with cranberry bogs to make it fun. Teddy and Riley were great tour hosts as well! We even got a taste test of their craisins.

You do need to call ahead to reserve spots for the tour. It is $15/person. I was told to use the directions on their website to get to the farm since Googlr GPS brings you to a different location. However, my GPS did bring me to the farm correctly.

A fun thing to do while visiting the cape. Don't miss out!

One of the BEST things to do on Cape!
So informative, interesting, funny (she has great stories!), and welcoming.
And Ted (the yellow lab) is the BEST. We did get to meet Murray (a border collie) briefly.
Gorgeous location. Lots of animals- dogs (aforementioned), sheep, goats, chickens, and an elusive cow, Stella.
Wonderful shop at the end.
Make reservations!

Leo and Andrea are incredible farmers and guides. This place is the real deal! I buy their dried cranberries and use them year round in my granola bar recipe. Everyone gets a taste of the best on the cape!

Very nice tour. It’s a family farm. There are animals everywhere to include dogs so if you don’t like dogs it’s not for you. The dogs are very friendly. The tour is about 90 minutes and informative. The woman who gives the tour is great. We enjoyed ourselves. There is a small shop at the end of the tour. Everything is cash only.

This place and tour were incredible! I would do it again in a heartbeat. Andrea was beyond informative, funny and welcoming, and an encyclopedia of knowledge. My family and I walked away with a greater appreciation for farming, the labor involved in organic certification, and the deep importance of not only bogs, but also bats and bees. Thank you for such a memorable day on the Cape!

Informative and interesting tour, it shed new light on how cranberries are grown and harvested.
