First day of Fall 2009 activities: Cranberry bog tours and picking


CC License Photo AndWat/Flickr.com

Obvious fall recreation actvities in New England include apple picking and later in the season, pumpkin picking. Add another native New England agritourism to your family's first day of fall activity list: cranberry bog tours.

Local Massachusetts farms offer tours and if you are lucky enough you may happen upon a cranberry harvest. Because the first day of fall is on Tuesday, a weekday, you may not have time in your busy family's school and work schedule to visit a cranberry bog. The first day of fall is still a good reminder of  the beauty and recreational opportunities waiting for you this season. Keep this list handy for free time on weekends and afternoons when you are not carpooling the family off for soccer, football or scouts.
