Cranberry Workshop at the Crane Estate

Come to the Crane Estate for a cranberry workshop!

You'll learn about the history and habits of this local fruit, and get a boots-on-the-ground feel for the matrix of trails that crisscross Castle Neck. When you finally arrive at the bog (our largest and most hidden) you'll have the opportunity to pick cranberries.
