Do we use real fruit just for the incredible photo opps? Mayyyybe. (Imagine diving into that berry pile though...😍) Cranberry harvesting is a totally unique experience. Many people think that cranberries grow in water, but that’s actually just how they’re harvested. In early Autumn, when the cranberries are ripe, the farmers flood the bogs with water which shakes the cranberries loose from their low, dense vines and creates a red sea of floating cranberries. Then harvesters stand waist-deep in the cranberry sea and rake the berries toward what looks like a giant straw. There, the berries are separated out into trucks and the water is sent back into the bog. Thousands upon thousands of cranberries are transported out of the bog every hour(!) and transported around the country - many from our very own horn state of Massachusetts! Last year alone, we used 8.8 million local cranberries in Spindrift. Pretty incredible. #cranberrybog #localfarms #localfarmers #realfruit #yupthatsit #cranber...
