Cranberry Fact: cranberries are not grown in water. The cranberry bogs may be flooded, called a wet harvest, or the cranberries may be dry harvested. This is a picture of a wet harvest, the berries just float to the surface of the water once they are beaten off of the plant by the machine. You can see here the machine that they use to beat the cranberries off of the plant. There is only a couple of inches of water in this cranberry bog.

Really?! Huh! I ALWAYS thought that cranberries were grown in water! I guess that was an assumption I made because I'd always seen the pictures of the wet harvest... So they just grow on bushes?
