How did the cranberries arrive in the Netherlands?

A friendly lady from "Dr. Vogel" explained to me that their hand picked berries came from Denmark. However, later she discovered they import them from New Jersey. 

In New Jersey they also use the dry harvesting method. This farmer explains he prefers this method,since it is healthier for his plants not to "drown" them every year.Eventually that is much better for the quality of the fruits.https://theproducenews.com/sunny-valley-expects-high-quality-new-jersey-cranberry-program.

In the Netherlands they also harvest cranberries.No one knows how they got there:

Probably in 1845 a beachcomber found a barrel. He did not like the sour berries, and threw them in the dunes.All caught by the Terschellinger Webcam 😜

No, I think they created this movie for the "Terschellinger Cranberies" Company: https://terschellingercranberries.nl/cranberries/geschiedenis/

The berries were found by Holkema in 1868.
