Just because you may not see those bright red cranberries in the bogs this time of year, that doesn’t mean those growers are getting a vacation or time off. 

During the winter months, cranberries undergo dormancy. This dormancy period extends into spring, signifying a critical phase for farmers as the cranberries begin to awaken.

“Springtime is a time of vigilance for us. We closely monitor our cranberry beds, paying special attention to protecting the delicate cranberry buds from potential damage,” explains Rochelle Biegel Hoffman, owner of Rooted in Red Cranberries.
