Wetherby Public Harvest Day October 6th, 2012 9:00 am -
11:00 am Always the 1st Saturday in October Our Public Harvest Day is FREE to all who attend and NO reservations are needed.
"I
have been taking my four children to the Wetherby’s harvest day, each year, for the last decade or more. My youngest
one, has literally, been going every year she’s been alive! I always leave with tons of cranberry’s – which
my friends love because I dole them out as gifts. It’s a wonderful Autumn tradition, followed by a drive to admire the
changing colors. Sadly, my family is in a transition of moving to Florida, and this may be the last year we can go. But we’ll
be there again this year, no doubt! :) I’m appreciative that Wetherby’s does this – it’s truly a Wisconsin
treat." ---Vanessa
Gordon Public Harvest Day visitor
Public Harvest Day 2011 was a great success. Thanks to everyone who made it out to see us harvest and answer any of your questions. I hope everyone had a great time putting on the hip boots and stepping out into the sea of red cranberries themselves for a great picture of them "harvesting" cranberries! Our Public Harvest Day gives visitors a chance to
see cranberries being harvested whether there is rain, shine or snow (we've harvested in them all). We set aside several
beds each year for this occasion and try to show several different stages of harvesting taking place. You will be able
to take pictures and videos of cranberries being harvested and have all your cranberry questions answered. Family members
of the Wetherby Cranberry Company will be your personal guides to explain what you are seeing and answer all other questions
you have. The packaging warehouse will be open and fresh cranberries will be available to be purchased.
It a great way to see harvest for the 1st or 50th time and see a truly unique agriculture harvesting experience first hand.
From young children through senior citizens, all will enjoy the sights of the "sea of red" being harvested.
