Description
Cranberries actually grow on dry land. When the cranberries are ripe, farmers control the flow of water into fields with trenches and pump houses for the wet harvest. Once the fields are flooded, machinery moves in that shake the cranberries off of the vine and corrals them into a vacuum. Wet-harvested cranberries are used for juices and sauce, while the cranberries you buy in a bag at the store are dry-harvested.
Cranberries are an autumn staple, and New Jersey is the 3rd largest producer in the country! They have health benefits that other foods can’t offer and are a unique part of the Garden State’s agriculture.

Very nice Allen, I've been to the Pinelands and seen the bogs there. Very interesting to see them being harvested.
