The Cranberry Plunge” is just one unique way to celebrate autumn this year, on a family-friendly visit to The BOG at Riverside Cranberry Farm. The Glen Valley farm located near Fort Langley, owned and operated by the Dewit family for more than a decade, hosts a Harvest Kick-Off Party on Saturday, September 23. It’s just the first of several select dates this fall to visit one of BC’s most anticipated annual agritourism experiences, through October 9.
This must-do autumn event includes self-guided tours, with picturesque moments to capture on a colourful harvest walk. Catch antique cranberry-cleaning equipment in action, and pick up fresh cranberries and other delicious farm-to-table products at the onsite farm store.
In addition, “The Cranberry Plunge” provides an unforgettable immersion in harvest season: visitors can don a pair of farm waders and take the plunge into a sea of floating cranberries! It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that’s equal parts fun and photo-worthy.
Details for this season’s Riverside Cranberry Farm activities are:
