Stone Lake Cranberry Festival 2011 - Can you see the red berries on these plants? Only three berries are native to the US. Blueberries, concord grapes and cranberries.




This machine is called a "beater" to loosen the berries from the flooded plants and gather them in a corner of the marsh bed..




Will it float? The flooded berries.






This truck sucks up the berries from the corner of the marsh and spits them into a semi truck.





A conveyor sends the berries to the sorting room.
