Cranberry Impact
Cranberries are native only to North America and southeastern Massachusetts is the birthplace of the commercial cranberry industry.
Cranberries are the No. 1 food crop in Massachusetts. The industry supports nearly 6,400 jobs and contributes an economic impact of $1.7 billion annually.
Cranberry growers farm more than 11,500 acres of cranberry bogs in southeastern Massachusetts. With 3-5 acres of support land for every acre of active bog, the cranberry industry protects 60,000 acres of open space.
Learn what's happening on cranberry farms this time of year:
Cranberry vines emerge from dormancy and the leaves turn from red to green as the plants start making chlorophyll. Growers begin to monitor for frost and early emerging insects. When bud break occurs, tender, new shoots of the cranberry vines begin to grow. Vine health is monitored along with emerging weeds and insects.
