Cranberry Impact
Massachusetts is home to 300+ cranberry farmers, 14,000+ acres of cranberry bogs, and 65,000+ acres of associated open space. Learn what's happening on cranberry farms this time of year.
Harvest season comes to an end. The bogs begin to go dormant and growers start their off-season maintenance program.
Growers continue offseason maintenance work, including cleaning ditches, pruning vines, repairing flumes and dams. If a prolonged cold period is forecast, growers will flood the bogs with a layer of insulating water.
