Cranberry Bogs and Marshes: Beyond Cape Cod

Yes, Virginia, there are commercial cranberry farms in Michigan.

Also in Oregon, Washington, and New Jersey.

But here's your surprising fun fact for the day regarding the bright red tart berry: "Wisconsin grows almost 57% of the cranberries in the US while Massachusetts accounts for another 28%, NJ and Oregon have 7% each and Washington accounts for most of the remainder."

Suddenly I'm in the mood for a cranberry-orange muffin.
