Cranberry Mint: A Taste of the Harvest Season

Join Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribal member Taylor Smalley for a thoughtful exploration of the indigenous cranberry history and its enduring connection to Wampanoag traditions. Discover how this native fruit has shaped both ecology and community on Martha’s Vineyard—from its ancestral uses and symbolism to the development of local cranberry bogs. As part of this experience, enjoy a cup of locally harvested Cranberry Mint tea, accompanied by seasonally inspired baked goods, a vibrant reflection of the season’s transition from harvest to winter rest.
