http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304773104579268213696526486 I'm probably way too cynical, but it does strike me as a huge coincidence that this study surfaces just when a huge cranberry surplus is disclosed. http://www.marketplace.org/topics/business/what-are-we-going-do-all-these-surplus-cranberries |

The cranberry bogs at Bala (Johnson's Cranberry Farm) is a great place to visit in the fall. They have tours through the facilities and the town of Bala puts on a great festival. Ypi can buy fresh cranberries in just about any size you wish. They also have semi-wild turkeys you can buy for Thanksgiving. They have a wide variety of cranberry based products for sale like jams and chutneys, wines and sauces. They have picnic tables and an old Golden Retriever that mooches handouts. The whole operation is a family run business and is only a couple hours north of Toronto near Bracebridge. BTW, they sell raw cranberries that are candy coated (similar to candy apples) and stuck on a toothpick. The berry is quite tart but, with enough candy, the kids eat them up. |

My niece goes to the Bala cranberry festival every year, Bala used to be my old stomping grounds as a teen. On the topic of cranberries, my wife's favourite drink is a large glass of cranberry cocktail with a shot of vodka and a splash of lime juice. An excellent drink, and quite refreshing. |

If they are so overabundant, then why aren't they ever on sale? Yes, cranberry juice and vodka is a very nice drink. Edited by Trotsky, Nov 1 2015, 03:04 AM.
