Our last harvest

18 Oct, 2015        Author: Glorianna Davenport

Yesterday, October 17, the final load of cranberries left the farm. The crew included Donny Badeau who has worked on the farm since the start, Ralph Deatcher, Dave Balutis, Jr., Evan Schulman and myself.  For over 30 years, the early summer bloom and the harvest days picking, booming, and pushing the berries have been, much like birthdays, memorable annual markers on our calendar, and we would like to thank all those who participated in the farming endeavor.
