Makepeace Company, based in Wareham, is the world’s largest cranberry grower, the largest private property owner in eastern Massachusetts, and a recognized leader in environmentally responsible real estate development and stewardship. Cranberries are our heritage and our livelihood. Our 160-year history in the cranberry industry affects the way we do business, and it strengthens the communities we build.
LIFE ON THE BOG
Office Temporarily Closed
In accordance with Governor Baker’s order, the A.D. Makepeace Company offices are closed for business until April 7.
Field operations continue, with March being one of the business times of year for cranberry cultivation and agriculture having been deemed an “essential business.” Our team is employing “social distancing” and taking other precautions.
The photo shows barge sanding, a tactic which improves the health of the cranberry vines with reduced levels of pesticides and fertilizer. The barges are used in place of ice sanding devices, which have not been used during recent warm winters.
It’s a good time to remind everyone that this is our workplace! In these times of social distancing, please avoid walking around these bogs if you see us out working. Stay safe!
