Cranberry bog?

Hey all. I live in southeaster MA so im literally surrounded by cranberry bogs! I couldnt picture not living by them.but when i talk to friends out of state and such no one even knows what a cranberry bog is! one of my fathers friends,no lie,who lives in Texas thought cranberrys grew on a tree! Anyway,how many of you actually know what a cranberry bog is?!?

I'm from FL, but originally from CT, so I know all about cranberry bogs. Even have an old cranberry scoop for a magazine rack.

I've seen pictures of cranberries being harvested, so I knew that's the way they grew but I've never seen a cranberry bog in person. None around here, that's for sure! We grow grapes and walnuts as our biggest crops in this county, in the northern Sacramento Valley, one of the biggest crops is rice. In the whole state, I think the biggest crop is...flakes! -TD

We have them out here out on the coast of Washington State too. Never even crossed my mind that some would think they grew on trees...but I can see why some people would think that

My folks live between two cranberry bog operations. Quite a procedure, and awesome for duck hunting.
