About 90% of cranberries are wet harvested. The air pockets in cranberries cause them to float in water. Water reels, known as “egg-beaters,” agitate the water and dislodge the berries from the vines, causing them to float to the surface. Plastic “booms” corral the berries, which are then sucked into a truck to take them to a processing center. Cranberry Harvest Makepeace Farms Wareham, Massachusetts AIMG 6890

Harvesting cranberries, Wareham, MA. To "wet harvest" cranberries, the bogs are flooded with water from nearby ponds. A harvesting machine is then driven through. This machine knocks the cranberries off the plant and they float to the surface. Workers pulling booms corral the cranberries and they are sucked by hose onto a truck to take them to the processing plant. Whole cranberries that are not destined to be immediately processed are picked in dry fields in a labor intensive and weather dependent process. AIMG 0343
