Grass can also be slippery. The harvest is during a limited period of time. To maintain the quality of the fruit, trucks hauling the freshly harvested crop must be able to access the roads. Please do not block driveways or roads. We try to keep in mind which beds will be harvested when planning the route.
Cranberries are Wisconsin's number one fruit crop.
Some marshes in the state have been successfully producing a crop for over 100 years. Only three major fruits are native to North America - the cranberry, blueberry and Concord grape. Although it may take three to five years for a new cranberry bed to produce a large enough crop for harvest, the vines will continue to produce a crop for several decades. American recipes containing cranberries date from the early 18th century. Legend has it that Pilgrims may have served cranberries at the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth.
