In partnership with the Warrens Cranberry Festival, we offer free educational cranberry marsh tours. These self-guided walking tours are located on a neighboring cranberry marsh and provide a rare opportunity to experience a working cranberry farm. Visitors will learn about harvest equipment, production methods, and everyday marsh management in rural cranberry country. Cranberry growers and industry professionals are onsite to answer questions and share their expertise. Begin or conclude your tour at the Cranberry Learning Educational Booth near the Footbridge, featuring hands-on activities, a cranberry harvest video, and explore cranberry-themed merchandise that supports Cranberry Learning’s educational mission.
