Harvesting Cranberries
Harvesting Cranberries <p>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)<strong> <a href="/videos/profiles/about-bill-couto">Bill Couto</a></strong> watched from the sidelines, electing RJ Collette to do the talking, as the crew corralled and uploaded<em> <strong>40,000 pounds</strong></em> of berries per truck! You're going to feel <em>really</em> good about that next glass of juice.</p>
