The cranberry tour was interesting but unfortunately no harvest was taking place. Its really a shame that the village cant better coordinate the tours with harvest activity as people do really want to see it in action. There is plenty to see around the village and the bogs and some nice tasty treats in the general store. Tour says 1 hour..ours was 2..so plan accordingly. Tour was well done.
Went over the weekend to walk, hike there and did the newest interpretive nature trail where you scan the code on the new signs to listen to the beautiful melodies. It was well thought out the trail and I greatly appreciate!
Went to see the Cranberry harvesting only to learn when we arrived that harvest was canceled for that day. It’s very disappointing they can’t let visitors know in advance - harvest days are limited and tickets to witness it only open a few times each season.
Whitesbog has a lot to offer - great trails in woods and around cranberry bogs, birdwatching, historical village and museum, old fashioned general store, and on the day we were there for the fall festival, some live music and a few local vendors. And it's free.
Very charming little gem in the pine barrens well worth the visit. There was a string band playing folk tunes which I adored. There's a well maintained trail leading to Elizabeth's Garden with lots of moss and greenery and blueberries! The blueberry field wasn't growing much when I visited unfortunately. It's still a working farm it seems so the cranberry fields are off limits. You could tell the local folks really take care of the place.
