In the quiet of the South Jersey Pine Barrens, a tradition of over 150 years takes place each October: the Cranberry Harvest. Fifth generation cranberry growers Joe and Brenda invite you to get an up close and personal tour of the harvest at Whitesbog farm, which was founded by Joe’s ancestors. Click here for tour details. Please also feel free to call 888-CRANBOG (888-272-6264) for information and to purchase tickets.
These interpreted nature walks take place on the Saturday closest to the full moon each month (consult our calendar for actual dates and fees). Starting at 7pm at the General Store, the walk is between 3 and 5 miles in length and led by experienced guides. Participants learn all about the history of the Village, cranberry and blueberry farming, and Pine Barrens flora and flauna; and enjoy some stargazing while listening to the night sounds of the pines. Reservations requested.
Learn about the diversity of habitat and wildlife of the Pine Barrens within Whitesbog’s 3,000 acres. Experienced guides will take you on a journey to discover the wonders of nature. Reservations requested.
