How Cranberries Grow: "Cranberries 101"

Cranberries in Massachusetts
Nestled among the towns and villages of Southeastern Massachusetts are more than 14,000 acres of cranberry bogs. These bogs are the workplaces of the 500 cranberry growing families of the Commonwealth. For generations they have nurtured and cultivated these wetlands; contributed to their communities; provided shelter and habitat for hundreds of plants and animal species; and helped to preserve the beautiful New England countryside.

"Cranberries 101" is an attempt to help expalin Massachusetts cranberry production, why it's unique, and what is happening on the farm during each season.
