How Do Cranberries Grow?
Cranberries grow in shallow sunken fields called bogs. But contrary to popular misconception, cranberries do not grow under water! Cranberries are perennial vine fruits, whose plants intertwine to form a thick mat in the bottom of the sandy bog that is dry for the entirety of the growing season. When the berries are ripe, the bogs are flooded and a specialized tractor called a beater drives through the bogs, teasing berries off their vines with a paddle wheel. The berries float to the surface of the flooded bog and are essentially skimmed and scooped off the top of the water into waiting totes for processing.
