We had the good fortune to discover Annie's Crannies while out looking for a cranberry harvest. Annie claims that her bogs, which formerly belonged to her grandfather, were the first commercially cultivated cranberries in 1816. She lovingly hand weeds her bogs. She uses the dry harvest method which produces cranberries which can be sold as fruit. She uses an old fashioned cranberry scoop along the edges. The leaves are removed in the separator and the cranberries are sorted on a conveyor belt.
