Another classic New England "thing" is the cranberry bogs. Now, I didn't think one could just go and visit a cranberry bog...but, thats where Livingsocial comes in. A few weeks ago they had a deal for a Cranberry festival down near the Cape and naturally I had to go check it out. So on Sunday, Jenny and I went to see what it was all about!
If you have never seen a bog up close - amazing. These little marvels grow in such an amazing way.
We got to watch berries in one bog being cultivated from the plants and floating up to the surface and in another bog they were harvesting them right out of the bog. So amazing.
In addition to the acres and acres of bogs to marvel at, the festival featured a variety of vendors and activities - it was really a fantastic fall event!

What a great festival...I bet seeing all those cranberries in one place was eye-pleasing gorgeous. Beautiful shots, Tamar, I can certainly see why you love your Falls!!
What a fun festival. I would have totally gone to that too.
Now THAT is incredibly COOL!!! I would love to do that. What fun Tamar!
Yes, fall by you is very very good! I'm just so amazed - I had no idea. Boy I just want to run my fingers through that box of cranberries,is that weird? haha
This is so neat! I would love to buy an off the bog bag of cranberries to homemade cranberry sauce. What a neat day trip. Reminds me of the Ocean Spray commercials. :)
how cool! the only cranberry bog I've known about is in epcot in disney! never seen it myself though!
Ok Tamar 1st thing: Loving ALL of these photos! Just like on those Ocean Spray commercials, huh? I really loved the pumpkins made from bend strips of wood; very COOL!
Thanks for the affection toward my "Lil Girl". ♥
That is so amazing. We certainly do not have them around here. Now it is apple festival season!
So cool! They do that just north of here in Wisconsin, and I missed it for the 3rd time in a row!
Awesome photos! I got to see these red bogs once on a trip. You have to time it just right. We missed it by a week on my last trip. I'm so glad for you that you got to experience the harvest time. Thanks for sharing with us!
Oh, WOW! I would have liked to be there. What a treat... love the pics!
oh wow these shots are amazing xxx
This makes me think of those commercials with the guys in the middle of the cranberries. ;)
Great photos, this is really cool. I really like the photo of the barn at the end of your post.
Okay, this is just so awesome! I do love fall in Colorado, but New England might just edge us out on this particular season.
That would be really cool! I've never seen that--where I live with have all apple orchards and blueberries, cherries, and blackberries, that's it!
Amazing! I didn't know that cranberries grow in a bog!!!
