Ericaceae, Cranberries, Harvesting

Cranberries are harvested by flooding he fields. A cranberry has 4 air pockets, so they can  float!

After the flooding, the "Egg Beater" passes by to loosen the berries from the vines.

This method is widely used in New Jersey.

 



Dry harvesting is also used. This farmer explains he uses the dry harvesting, because it keeps his plants healthier and stronger, which results in High Quality Berries.
