Massachusetts’ Cranberry Harvest Is in Peril Due to Northeast Drought 💬 Cranberry bogs are part of my youth. All through the year I’d walk past them on my way to visit my friends. In the winter they’d flood the bogs and we’d skate when they had frozen over. Whenever I’m' homesick, I drink cranberry juice. I never thought I’d have an emotional reaction to a headline about cranberries.
