Description

This photo was taken in Flax Pond Farms, Carver, Massachusetts. Flax Pond Cranberry Co., is a family farm. The property, which was purchased in 1967, consists of 34 acres of producing cranberry bog, a 10 acre pond, 40 acres of woodland (including 4000 fraser fir christmas trees), and 20 acres of reservoir. The cranberry bogs have been in production since the early 1890"s and today produce 150 to 200 barrels per acre (in a good year) of fresh fruit for Ocean Spray Cranberries.
Farming in S.E.Massachusetts has declined dramatically in the last 50 years. The pressure of urbanization and residential development has forced out the dairy and poultry farms, leaving cranberry as the main farming entity. The 65,000 acres of bogs and open space maintained by the cranberry industry is the largest segment of privately owned land still undeveloped in S.E. Massachusetts.
