A Cranberry Bog











Before this trip I thought cranberries were grown in lakes, mostly because of the ads for Ocean Spray. Well, it is grown in a bog, as a flowering vine. When harvest comes, they flood the fields with about 2 feet of water and the cranberries float. The place I visited had a museum and a gift shop, both of which were interesting. Trust me, they can make anything smell like or taste like cranberries! The boots are a tool from past cranberry days to walk over the vines.
