Harvesting Cranberries - Farm Tour

Rain or shine, wet harvesting cranberries from bog-to-truck is a hands-on seasonal process and when the berries are ready, it's time to harvest. The fresh berries you see in a market are dry harvested. For juices, jams and sauces, the beds are flooded, berries are loosened from vines and float to the surface. Long-time bog owner (and silent observer) Bill Couto watched from the sidelines at their East Taunton, Massachusetts bog, electing RJ Collette to do the talking, as the crew corralled and uploaded 40,000 pounds of berries per truck! You're going to feel really good about that next glass of juice.
