Cranberries grow on an evergreen vine. That means they keep their leaves year-round. But, when the plants enter their dormant cycle, the leaves change from green to red! The pipe is for our irrigation system. It protects the vines from frost.

Cranberry Blossom

Summer's Here!

Cranberries bloom from mid-June to July. Pilgrims thought the blossom looked like the head of a crane and called them 'crane berries.' See these blossoms develop into fruit and check out some of our summer jobs.
