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.

Summer means cranberry blossom season. Migratory and native bees pollinate the flowers and tiny fruit pin heads begin to form. Then, berries start to size. Nutrients are applied to support the growing fruit. Growers irrigate as necessary and monitor for pests and rot. By late August the berries are starting to blush (turn red).
