Visiting Vermont Cranberry Company: EP40

Today’s episode comes to you from Fletcher Vermont where we visit with Bob Lesnikoski of Vermont Cranberry Company. He is the one and only commercial cranberry grower in the state! We start off the episode with a tour of his packing barn where they sort and box up fresh cranberries, press juice, and bottle seltzer. We then pull up a stool in the commercial kitchen and learn more about the cranberry market in the Northeast.

I hope you enjoy this episode learning about Vermont Cranberries!
