In 1994, cranberries were designated as the official state berry. Twenty-four years earlier, in 1970, cranberry juice was crowned the official beverage of Massachusetts as a nod to the cranberry industry.
Massachusetts is the second largest producer of cranberries being beaten out by the state of Wisconsin.
I know someone who went to a bog and was able to pick cranberries in the same way you pick strawberries. Well not the same as the cranberries are in a bog, but I didn't know you could do that. What a day yesterday was and more of the same today. Enjoy. Hugs-Erika
