Frequently Asked Questions *

People gathered outdoors on the edge of a bog, some seated in chairs and others walking. There is a green canopy tent and chairs that is the gift shop, with a scenic background of trees and a blue sky with scattered clouds.

Do I need reservations?

Yes. All tours are reservation-only and sell out quickly. We strongly recommend booking in advance to secure your spot.If you experience any issues with online booking, please email us at hartleyfamilyfarm@gmail.com or call 508-317-5000.

Are tours weather dependent?

No—tours run rain or shine. After all, farmers don’t stop for the rain!

Do tours start at specific times?

Yes. Tours begin promptly at their scheduled time and cannot be delayed for late arrivals. Please plan to arrive at least 10 minutes early so you’re ready to go.

How long is the tour?

Tours typically last approximately 60 minutes. Afterward, you’re welcome to spend additional time exploring the farm, visiting the gift shop, and asking our farmers questions.

Is the tour appropriate for young children?

Yes, guests of all ages are welcome! However, some younger children may be too small to wear waders or walk in the bogs. In those cases, an adult must remain off the bog to supervise.We have found that visitors of all ages love the tractor rides or walking tour, scenery, and hands-on experience.

Will there be cranberries floating on the bog?

Yes! You’ll step right into the bog surrounded by floating cranberries during the harvest.

Can I pick my own cranberries?

No, cranberry picking is not part of the tour. However, fresh cranberries will be available for purchase.

Are tours handicap accessible?

We do our best to make the experience accessible to all guests. Please let us know your needs when booking, and we will do everything we can to accommodate you.

Are there restrooms on site?

Yes, portable restrooms are available, including an accessible unit.

Is there a gift shop?

Yes! We have a small on-site shop featuring fresh cranberries, apparel, and other items.

Can I bring my pet?

No pets are allowed. While we love animals, we are a working farm and must follow strict agricultural guidelines.

Will I be charged for photos?

Not at all! We encourage you to take all the photos—there’s nothing like a selfie in a cranberry bog.

What should I wear?

Dress for the outdoors and the weather. Tours take place on an active farm and in the bogs, so conditions may be wet, muddy, or uneven.

We recommend:

  • Comfortable clothing you don’t mind getting a little dirty

  • Layers (mornings and afternoons can be cool)

  • Closed-toe shoes for walking around the farm

Waders are provided for use in the bog, so you’ll be able to step right into the water and experience the harvest up close.
