Veteran Cranberry Farmer

Wisconsin is the country’s largest producer of cranberries, and most of those are grown in the Northwoods. Emily Bright visited one of those cranberry marshes before the harvest in August where she met a military veteran-turned-cranberry grower. She found out what it’s like to have your world revolve around this holiday favorite.
