Cranberries in NJ

Big Sis commented a while ago about the massive cranberry harvesting in NJ, well here is some info about how to learn more about the cranberry industry. There are three local farms that are great to visit. The first is Double Trouble State Park, in Berkely Township. The park is open to the public and there is no entrance fee. Cloverdale Farm in Barneget, NJ is a little more closed off to the public, but does offer tours of the bogs. The tour at the end of this month is already booked, but keep checking as a worker there told me that there will most likely be more. The last farm is Whitesbog Village. Whitesbog actually has a driving tour that takes you on a 5 mile loop. Please sign in at the kiosk befor driving. On Sat November 15th Whitesbog has a moonlight walk at 7pm for $5. The tour is led by experienced guides and gives a great history of the bogs.  Enjoy all the cranberry history NJ has to offer.
