Description
Fall in New Jersey means the cranberries are ripening and the harvest will soon begin. New Jersey is the third largest producer of cranberries in the United States behind Wisconsin and Massachusetts. Contrary to popular belief, cranberries do not grow underwater. The bogs are flooded for harvest and during the winter to provide protection for next year's fruit buds. During the harvest, the bogs are flooded and the fruit is mechanically knocked off the vines. Cranberries are partially hollow which allows them to float to the top of the water after being removed from the vine. The fruit are then corralled by large booms and removed from the water.
