Heirloom Cranberry Bogs and Blueberry Bushes Paradise Hill Farm, Tabernacle, NJ, Sunday, October 25, 11 AM

Paradise Hill Farm is committed to the environmental and historic conservation of New Jersey’s Pine Barrens. Specializing in cranberries and blueberries, the farm is dedicated to preserving heirloom varieties. The farm has been in Mary Ann Thompson’s family since 1890; Mary Ann’s grandmother won the silver medal for quality at the Buffalo exposition in the early 1900s, and she continues that tradition of excellence today. The farm spans over 800 acres in the Pine Barrens, with 200 acres in cranberry production. On this tour, you will have the opportunity to walk out to the bogs, see the antique processing machinery, and hear the colorful stories that make Paradise Hill truly unique.
