- Cranberry harvesting is a totally different way of farming. Have you tried fresh cranberries?

I wonder who here that’s eaten a Lingonberries
I remember seeing those ads for some cranberry juice when I was younger where there were just 2 farmers standing in the middle of a cranberry field talking about the juice. Those were the good ol days.
Ocean Spray? Good times…
Why am I watching cranberries at 1 am. Kudos to the creator for keeping me interested till the end.
Yes! Thanks Anshu!
Good night! 😄

3:09 am for me XD

whats a kudo
I worked at Ocean Spray in Richmond this year as a binner. The 2020 harvest was expected to be in excess of 53 million pounds of cranberries. This was one of the most enjoyable jobs in my working life, great people and experience, hope to be back next year.
Can I work there as a truck driver? I'm a truck driver here in the Philippines...
Cranberry sauce with chicken or turkey is really good. Cranberries are not the only berries that taste a lot better cooked than raw.
...and the giant spiders didn't bother you?
@Dionz Tonjr. you have to see which work visas are available to you the canadian embassy in the phillipines

I love that this channel is always showing you something completely unexpected, cranberry farming, steam trains, Harley's, Airbnb's, keep up the hard work, it's always awesome to see something weird that you never would have expected to see in your feed
Yes! That’s exactly my goal, Jack! 👍🏼😄
I love how creative people have gotten to get certain things done in such efficient ways.
Fun fact: I was born in that field. I almost died but I made it out
oh my god it's you!
I ate your dad
what was is like o-o

For real?
"We all know that they flood the fields"
Me: *w h a t*
I came to this video because I had no idea they did and wanted to see a bunch of cranberries floating on a cranberry lake.
Dried cranberries are the best!
Ikr
Fun fact! A handful of dried cranberries has more sugar than a Hershey chocolate bar!
@@candacej20 why size Hershey Choclate bar
I no especially with trail mix nuts
@@candacej20 but cranberry’s have natural sugar
I love making cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It couldn't be easier ... equal parts water and sugar, and a bag of cranberries [plus a touch of salt] ... bring them to a boil, lower to a simmer, until all of the berries have burst. Voila, sauce! And, a lovely aroma will permeate your whole house.
Sounds amazing!
I do the same! with a bit of orange zest too!
I’m British so I don’t really celebrate thanksgiving but like good for u I guess
@@idkanymorelmao5242 wtf is this comment
@@OfficialParkit wdym, the man just doesn't celebrate thanksgiving as the original comment was referring to. what's wrong with his comment?
not everyone is american
"It's quiet"
CRANBERRY SLAPPER GO BRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Brrrrrrrrrr
Cranberries (unprocessed) are very good for you. They are full of anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer nutrients. They help keep the liver healthy and lower your blood pressure. And although they are not a sugar bomb they taste great! A great way to add flavor to your steel cut oats for breakfast. And please do business with mom and pop farmers like this. I wish I lived in Canada.
"quiet" wearing hearing protection..... lol
.
True
He was around load tracters an trains
Lmao my exact thought. A gas engine just chugging along.
@@Linus-rr6ns I lived beside a train track just like that literally in my backyard it would shake the house. Hearing protection is not required for that.
I’ve just got one question
Wanna Sprite cranberry ;)
I have been spammed with those adds
No
@@bobagingo_ :O
Uh huh
First off fuck you, secondly. Yes please
2:06 damn, that sound transition tho
3:34 "Its quiet"
the machine: am I a joke to you?
😂
lol the music is far from quiet too
the machine is a joke to me, yes
e
The hearing protection is only for decoration
Who else got a weird taste in their mouth when he ate the cranberry lol
I havent eat cranberry
Yeah a raw cranberry has an apple texture
Me
Yeah hahahaga like sour but not sour hard to explain
@@ptr1182 sweet.
Don’t know why, don’t know how but I sure am glad this was in my recommended
It’s calm, it’s quite.
He who wears headphones: yeah sure.
I swear I’ve watched this video like 80 times. I just find it calm and cool how they farm the cranberries. Keep it up Mike!!
This is fascinating! I had no idea how cranberries were harvested. This is an impressive video and this channel keeps surprising me. Thanks for such great content!
This whole time I thought they grew on the water like Lilly pads!
My 6-year-old daughter just watched this video. She wanted to say it is so cool to see this.
This was a great supplementary video I used in my homeschool day with my kids. Thank you for posting it! They were all fascinated!
When I was a kid I thought cranberries grew underwater.
Right, but they don't! So surprising.
i thought it grew on bushes
@@lopi1928 same
Idk were I'm born

We did a field trip to a cranberry farm when I was in elementary school. I remember it as the best field trip ever. I love cranberries!
I'm in British Columbia! That's pretty cool that there's 80 farms here just for cranberries.
British Columbia has about 17.500 farms.So cranberries is only a very little part of it.
Great video showing the cranberry harvest. I have friends whose family have cranberry bogs in New England. I have cranberries in my oatmeal everyday, they are good for you. I do enjoy watching your videos, thank you so much for them!
I live in Southeastern Massachusetts, one of the biggest cranberry growing regions in the US. Going on field trips to cranberry bogs as a kid was a right of passage and we always got to pick our own cranberries (it’s not very easy by hand). Very nice informative video!
I’m supposed so be studying... but this is more interesting
Your studying ............. just not what u supposed to XD 🤫🤫🤫🤫hahaha
I love the way they use the new techniques. It really helps them gaining the production.
The first vid i saw from this channel... i´m already a fan
Growing up in NJ we lived right outside of Whitesbogs. Every year we would go on school trips there and learn about the history and stuff of how they were farmed and even got to go out and farmed some by hand. (this was fun as a 2nd grader. as an adult, it is awful lol) I didn't realize until I was half way through college that a lot of people are unaware of how cranberries are harvested or grown. Its interesting watching people learn new things.
They didn’t pay attention to the Ocean Spray ads… smh
Amazing - they don't grow cranberries here in the UK (although we do eat them), and seeing where they come from & how they're harvested is fantastic!
I did know about flooding the fields to harvest them; but I didn't know much about why, or any more than that!
3:49 its calm, its quiet...
meanwhile the guy has ear protection on from the noise of the machine lol
:Yep the machine is called beater
How about the operator?
:Master- nvm
Thanks- for making agriculture / food science fun & informative! ✨🏆✨💕 And thanks for making this pandemic lockdown/ social isolation enjoyable. Glad I discovered your wonderful UA-cam channel!
this video is probobly really good for social awareness and i think you should keep going on youtube this is really good content. (want more please)
This video is awesome! I always wondered why the guys in the commercial were always standing In water with floating cranberries... lol I had no idea flooding Cranberry fields was a thing...
who else loves it when he says cranberry
Thank you for this video! I learned something new. Eating fresh cranberries gives me a happy attitude plus upbeat energy!
A sunshine moment in any day; Mike your expressions deliver the same! Beth in North West Montana
Wonderful! Thank you, Beth.
Ahhh, so this is what happened in my Stardew Valley farm during fall.
I normally dont comment very often or like videos, just watch them for fun constantly, and dude you are like the most lively and exciting people to watch I have ever found on youtube. your demeanor is so positive and excited, even after a 4 hour work shift and me having some personal issues, I cant help but be excited and happy while watching this video. absolutely earned the sub, please keep it up! =D
Oh wow! Thanks Logan! Welcome!
I just watched a documentary on how farmers whack cranberries to collect them easier.
This is crazy! I never understood how this fruit worked. Great video, as always!
This could easily be in discovery Channel and it should. Amazing video and extremely interesting
Glad you think so!
I love cranberries. I LOVE how tart they are, and it looks so satisfying to harvest too. Just another reason to like them
Thank you very much for all the work you did when pulling them!!!!!! 😊
No idea why this is in my recommended , but i LOVE it.
Welcome Jacob!
@@DownieLive Thank you
I eat cranberries all year when they are available. It is so interesting to know how they are grown and harvested. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
my recommendations have blessed me again
It's beautiful cranberry farm. 👍👏
In my country cranberry’s grow naturally. We call them “purvs” where they grow. “purvs” in english means swamp. I’ve never heard about cranberry farms and i don’t know if we have them.
I made a cranberry cake with 3 layers for christmas once and the sweet cream is perfect with the sour fresh berries :3 I coated some on top with sugar which made them look like they are cought in ice crystals - so pretty! It was interesting to see how they get harvested.
That is awesome!
It's not only awesome, beautiful, sweet & sour, but fantastic. Many thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Best regards, Nassa
I love this, I had no idea that Langley has cranberry farms. Thanks for sharing.
awesome and interesting content! I love stumbling across videos like this that inform me of cool information that I didnt know I wanted to learn!
Why am I 25 years old and now knowing that the commercial is real. XD
When you showed Brian’s farm, the train came by in the background, good video
My grandma makes this cranberry relish every year for thanksgiving, wildly amazing
very interesting! In Alberta, my grandma and I would always go pick the cranberries in the woods, she could fill a gallon pail faster than I could cover the bottom layer. The wild crans do taste slightly different than farmed, not sure why though. Great video :)
Great video, like always! That looks like A LOT OF hard work!! Will look for their berries when I go to the store next time. Watching this makes me appreciate the fruits of the farmers' labour even more (pun intended!)
I fricken love cranberry stuff they are delicious
Me and my brother are trying to go to sleep this video teach us something and we’re able to fall asleep great video!
I actually love whole cranberries. I put it in oatmeal, potatoes, corn, just about any dish. You have to get accustomed to the taste. It gives it a nice bite. I load up my freezer around the holidays so I have them all year. Only blueberries have slightly more antioxidants, so they are very healthy. Blueberries, cranberries and oatmeal, the perfect dish. : )
FUN FACT: IM DRINKING CRANBERRY JUICE WHILE WATCHING THIS
That isnt a fact, and isnt even fun.
@@frog2226 shut the fuck up
sprite
@@frog2226 shhhhhhh
@@frog2226 Bruh you ruined the vibe
This was absolutely riveting. I knew about cranberry bogs, but had no idea that they aren't bogs all the time. And the harvesting was fascinating to watch. Now I'm craving cranberry pie (so good - tastes a lot like cherry, only more tart).
I always wondered why they flood the fields. Cool and interesting vid!
What a fascinating process! Well covered and explained! 👌🏽
Thanks so much!
That looked like a grain train passing the bog. I saw this process on 'Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe', but you really gave us an up close and personal of the harvesting process.
I've tried craisins (dried cranberries), oooooo addicting!
Belated Happy Thanksgiving, Mike!
Thanks for taking us along.
You’re so welcome. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
Wow! What a cool video! Loved every second of it!! Excited for the next adventure!
Cranberries are weird for me. When I first had them I thought they tasted disgustingly sour, but occasionally, I'll get huge cravings for them. They're really good! I love them.
I’ve always loved cranberries, but then again I love sour, not so much of a sweet tooth, so they really are great, hard to find not frozen ones where I live though
I live in carver mass. It's where like, most cranberries come from. The fact that some people don't know how cranberries are farmed or haven't tried a cranberry is totally weird to me
The fruit is not even known in any country. Meanwhile they became popular dried as raisins, for fitness food mixes.
Love the Whites Bogs Preservation area :)
I love cranberry commercials
That's enough cranberries to keep a town full for a life time in one harvest.
finds out there are more fields on that farm:
Finds out there are 80 farms in one country:
I
That's in only in one province! There are 81 in Quebec, and I imagine maybe even more in Ontario!
As always, well produced content Mike. Great job!!!
Having not watched this until now, I was really hoping it would have been filmed in my home area of central Wisconsin, but oh well. Great video, and thanks for sharing the story of the cranberry harvest with many people that never knew much about them before. The misconception that they actually grow under water is the one I encounter the most.
Cool Downey. I find the field really satisfieng. It looks like a pink lake.
that's all cool and all, but can we talk about how he's wearing a life jacket for 1ft of water
Probably a safety requirement. Safe working etc! If he were to drown just makes it easier to find the body!
if for whatever reason you go unconscious while working in the water. If you fall down even in shallow water the life jacket if worn properly will make an unconscious person roll around onto their back and float with their face above water.
have you ever stepped in an 2' deep ditch in 2' of water? You'll fall due to the unseen. Not to mention submerged sprinklers (shin rackers)!
LOL
And technically a human could drown in 6 inches of water? Or less?
“WANT A SPRITE CRANBERRY”
No
THE ANSWER IS CLEARRR
Awesome I love cranberry juice or soda what that is you get wine maybe
I love cranberries. This was really interesting and educational.
"we know that they flood the fields"
me who just stumbled on the video by random : Do we?
Useless fact: Wisconsin is the United States top cranberry producing state
not really useless
Cheese
@Marked One fu
Massachusetts is second.
Fianaly Wisconsin is useful for something! (Besides cheese)
This is one of the coolest videos I've seen in a long time, wish I would have seen this earlier, definitely earned a subscriber
Man, just found this video in my recommended and boy was I wowed. Super high production quality keep up the good work.
I named the Cranberry getting off machine thing chop chop is the name
His job is to beat around the bush. I'll see myself out.
At first I thought this was just on an ad. But when I found out this was an actual thing, I was very surprised
I've had their berries before, that was cool to see
I live near Bala Ontario where they also do this. Just haven’t seen it.
me who lives in the state known for cranberries: this is 1st grade knowlage
what a chill dude
thank you for the super not annoying at all electronic music. dude looked extra epic beating them berries
