A Taste of Tradition: Nantucket Cranberries

Autumn on Nantucket brings crisp air, golden light—and the unmistakable arrival of cranberry season. The island’s bogs are alive with color as the annual harvest gets underway, marking one of our most beloved local traditions.

This year’s crop is especially bountiful, and we’re thrilled to share that genuine Nantucket cranberries are now available for purchase from the Nantucket Conservation Foundation.

Grown and harvested right here on-island, these vibrant berries are more than just an ingredient for your holiday table—they’re a taste of Nantucket’s agricultural heritage. Cranberry farming has been part of the island’s story for generations, and every harvest connects us back to those roots.
