This may sound like a silly question but as a resident of Michigan who is interested in cranberry farming, how does one get started? Any ideas books, websites or people I should look into? Thanks a bunch.

I don't know about the harvest this year, but I think that one of the best ways to convince people to carry local products is to point out how the dollars for those stay in the community.

I've been asking my grocery store produce manager for Michigan fresh and dried cranberries and he tells me there wasn't much of a crop this year. Is this true? If not, how do you suggest I approach my store to pursue more Michigan products?
