No matter where you go in this country, or what commodity is produced there, American farmers share the remarkable traits of innovation, self-reliance, and work ethic.
Cranberry growers are no exception.
The industry has a rich tradition of individuals steeped in these character traits and values. Brothers, David and Douglas Mann or Buzzards Bay, Mass., are excellent examples. David and Doug have been interested in exploring and spreading the news about the health benefits of the cranberry. These benefits have been long suspected, and are now validated by recent medical research. The 1994 study conducted by Harvard University established a definitive link between the consumption of cranberries and a reduction in the occurrence and severity of urinary tract infections.
