The A.D. Makepeace Company, based in Wareham, is North America’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 169-year history in the cranberry industry affects the way we do business, and it strengthens the communities we build.
LIFE on the BOG
It’s almost cranberry harvest season!
In the coming weeks, warm days will help the berries grow bigger, and cool nights will cause them to turn red. We hope for a little bit of rain, and hope to avoid any extreme weather, like hurricane winds, torrential rain, or hail.
When the Ocean Spray receiving station opens Sept. 16, we will be in line with truckloads of berries for processing. With more than 1,600 acres of bogs to harvest, we’ll likely be at it until the second week of November, sometimes working six days a week.
