Agritourism at A.D. Makepeace
The A.D. Makepeace Company believes strongly in the contribution that the cranberry industry makes to our region’s cultural identity and ecology.
To strengthen understanding of this fascinating industry and its blending of state-of-the-art technology with centuries-old growing techniques, we have created the Makepeace Cranberry Community Education Program.
The program provides guided bog tours and other resources for schools, community groups and individuals.
