Cranberries – Celebrating a Holiday Harvest

The sight of fresh, U.S.-grown cranberries on grocery store shelves and in classic dishes adds a special dash of holiday cheer during the month of December. In anticipation of the holidays, our team at USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service spoke to some of our American farmers who produce classic holiday foods and ingredients.

Last week, we got to know Ray Habelman, a fourth-generation cranberry farmer whose family has been growing the quintessential American crop for more than 100 years in Wisconsin. His firm, Habelman Bros. Company, had just finished packing and shipping its harvest two days prior to our chat.
