Where are cranberries grown?

Cranberries grow in wet, muddy fields. They like cool places because their roots need lots of water. Farmers flood the fields. The berries float like red balls.

Cranberries grow on low little vines in wet fields called bogs. They grow best in cool places with lots of water, like parts of the United States and Canada. Farmers can flood the bogs, and the berries float, a bit like bath toys in a tub.

Cranberries grow on short vines in sandy, wet fields called bogs or marshes. Many are grown in cool parts of North America, especially Wisconsin, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington, and Canada. Farmers often flood the bogs at harvest time because ripe cranberries have tiny air pockets inside, so they float. Fun fact: cranberries do not grow underwater; the water is mostly used to protect and harvest them.
