New Jersey's Red October (DVD)

New Jersey is the third largest producer of cranberries in the United States. Today, in its sandy, acidic soils, descendants of the earliest cranberry pioneers raise their crops on the same land farmed by their ancestors as far back as 1840. The evolution from hand harvest to present-day methods is detailed through archival images, footage, and firsthand accounts. Also revealed is the most current scientific research about advanced cultural practices as well as the many health benefits.
