NORTH FALMOUTH – One of the magical joys of living on Cape Cod is getting to see cranberries wet harvested in the fall.
We recently watched this at the cranberry bog in North Falmouth, adjacent to the Shining Sea Bikeway.
When the cranberries are ready to be harvested, the bog is flooded and the cranberries float to the surface. It’s incredibly colorful. Then they are corralled and raked to a vacuum hose pulling them up to a truck.
It’s a really cool process to watch. And kudos to the workers. It’s pretty labor intensive, starting with having to wade into the bog just to get to work.
