I'll try this, as with many of us I've been unable to post.

I love the cranberry harvest pics.

I eat 'em raw...like they are tart, crunchy candy. My family thinks I'm crazy. :)
 
Quite likely one of the most unique methods of harvesting a crop there is, I wonder who developed the flooding technique. Michigan State's local experimental farm put in a few bogs about 20 years ago, but they are no longer working them, must not have seen viability here.
 
My daughter used to live in Marshfield, Mass, a little north of Plymouth. Lots of small bogs in the area. We usually visited in the fall but it was always after the harvest. This year we drove down to New Bedford (for antiquing) and on the way back passed some large bogs and I got to see some harvesting. One machine was for sale in front of a house but we went by too fast to get a picture. Looked like a four-wheeled high clearance vehicle. Just a frame with tines below to knock the berries off the vines.
 
My mother used to make a real good sweet cranberry relish. Once in a while she would throw two or three berrys in whole to keep everybody on their toes.
