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 annual. 

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: 

spring

Spring is an active time on cranberry bogs with the vines coming out of dormancy and beginning to grow. A flurry of activities will take place with the most important being frost protection! Other activities include: removal of the winter flood (anytime from mid-February through mid-March); late water flood (by mid-April) to provide pest management benefits without the use of chemicals; weed management; and planting new vines.
