This is our big day, when we get to show the world what it takes to harvest that tasty treat that has graced American tables since the pilgrims arrived.

At the A.D. Makepeace Company, we've been at it since the mid 1800s, when Abel Makepeace founded our company. And we think you'll find that the cranberry harvest represents a fascinating blend of old-fashioned techniques and high-tech innovations.

During the Harvest Celebration, we're joined by our fellow growers from throughout Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts, who will show you how it's done and answer your questions. We're all members of the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' Association, who co-sponsors this event.

Of course, we're also grateful to our friends at Ocean Spray, the farmers' cooperative, and other sponsors of the Cranberry Harvest Celebration.
