About
THE CRANBERRY, along with the wild blueberry and Concord grape, is one of only three native fruits grown commercially in North America.
Cranberries were first used by Native Americans who discovered the berry's versatility as a food, fabric dye and healing agent. The name "cranberry" derives from the Pilgrim name for the fruit, "craneberry" so called because the small, pink blossoms that appear in the spring resemble the head and bill of a sandhill crane.
Cranberries grow on low lying vines in impermeable beds layered with sand, peat, gravel and clay which were originally created by glacial deposits.
