Makepeace Farm
Wareham, Massachusetts

When the cranberries are ripe, the bogs are flooded with 12-18 inches of water. Water Reels, commonly known as "Egg Beaters", are then driven through the bogs to knock the ripe berries loose from the vines. The berries float to the surface where they are later corralled by booms and sucked into trucks to be taken to the packaging plant.
