I always thought that cranberries
grew on bushes. Well, think again.
Gina and I went to Flax Pond Farms
today to visit a cranberry bog.
This is a dry harvest farm. You've seen the Ocean Spray
commercials on Television where the two guys are
in a "pond" of cranberries, that is a wet bog and the berries
are harvested differently. In a dry bog the berries are harvested
with handmade equipment which will be in another post.
You can check out the website for the bog that we
visited today: www.flaxpondfarms.com.
Jack and Dot Angley own and operate this farm.
Dot gave us the tour today which was very informative.
I recommend going to flax pond farm for a tour of their
cranberry bog if you are ever in the area.
Stay tuned for more posts on this subject.
