Centennial Cranberry Farm

About Centennial Cranberry Farm

Centennial Cranberry Farm is a working cranberry farm at Whitefish Point, north of Paradise in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It is Michigan's oldest cranberry farm, planted by John Clarke in 1876 and run by the House family since 1905. The farm opens to visitors on weekends during the harvest, from late September to mid-October, with a short walking tour of the bogs and harvest equipment, a harvest video, and a gift shop selling fresh cranberries in October along with cranberry sauce, salsa and dried cranberries, also sold by mail order. The cranberries are not u-pick. Trails run through old-growth white pine on the property.
