Bring the family to Whitesbog Historic Farm and Village for a day full of exploring New Jersey’s dynamic landscapes. The small cranberry farming village is located in Brendan T. Byrne State Forest in Browns Mills, New Jersey. Founded in 1857, Whitesbog is home to 3,000 acres of bogs, creeks and forests. There are nature trails open to visitors every day.
New Jersey is considered the blueberry capital of the world. Whitesbog hosts annual festivals, tours, tastings and blueberry pie eating contests to celebrate the popular berry. Blueberry picking is available in the summer, typically June – August, for a $5 suggested donation.
Cranberry season takes place late September through the first week of October. Pine Barrens Native Fruitsharvests the cranberries at Whitesbog seasonally. Visitors may view the cranberry harvest from a distance at designated viewing locations. In addition to the harvest viewing, Whitesbog hosts cranberry festivals, walks and presentations.
