I remember seeing a commercial (Ocean Spray) I think that had two guys standing ankle deep in a bunch of cranberries. Are the ‘bogs’ you’re talking about the same thing?
Yes, its very wet.
The low growing cranberry bogs are flooded when the berries ripen. Then the berries are beaten mechanically from the vines.
Cranberries float to the surface, where they are skimmed off, loaded on trucks, and taken to the various processors.
Ocean Spray is a collective that buys the cranberries to make those delicious ridged cans of cranberry sauce.
BTW, New England is noted for growing cranberries....lots of little bogs.
