The cranberry harvest has begun early this year at A.D. Makepeace in Wareham, Massachusetts. Cooler weather has raised expectations of a good harvest this season, according to A.D. Makepeace Vice President of Marketing and Communication Linda Burke. This early start could enable the harvest to be completed a few weeks ahead of the usual late October to early November schedule. A.D. Makepeace, which has cultivated cranberry bogs in Carver, Plymouth, and Wareham for more than a century, is one of the world's largest cranberry growers. Burke noted that much of the farm's labor during the harvest involves seasonal workers who return year after year.
