Not quite. These organic heirloom berries from Fresh Meadows Farm boast brighter acidity and a richer flavor, without as much of the mouth-drying astringency found in supermarket counterparts. Based in Carver, Massachusetts—just northwest of Cape Cod—this Black-owned and five-generation family farm specializes in two heirloom varieties: 1) Early Black, prized for its smaller size, purplish hue and naturally sweet flavor and 2) Howes, a larger, firmer berry with a pleasantly tart bite. Most commercial growers flood their bogs to harvest cranberries—this process leaves the berries susceptible to bruising and rapid deterioration. Fresh Meadows takes a different approach. The farm dry-harvests its crop using mechanical pickers that “comb” the ripe fruit from their vines. Though a more labor-intensive process (that yields fewer berries), this method helps preserve their concentrated flavor and firm texture—even after they’ve been cooked. This means the cranberries also freeze well, so you can enjoy them in sauces, chutneys, relishes, savory glazes, grain salads and baked goods all year round. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNet Weight\/Volume: \u003c\/b\u003e5 pounds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIngredients: \u003c\/b\u003eOrganic E\u003cspan\u003early Black and Howes Cranberries\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlace of Origin: \u003c\/b\u003eCarver, Massachusetts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCare:\u003c\/b\u003e Store fresh cranberries in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

But in Massachusetts cranberry country, Fresh Meadows Farm dry-harvests Early Black and Howes heirlooms to preserve their concentrated flavor and firm texture. A direct descendant of Cape Cod’s wild cranberries, Early Blacks are the first to ripen in September. Small and deep red, these high-sugar berries boast a jammy, almost dark-cherry richness that balances their bright acidity. Howes ripens about three weeks later, producing larger, firmer, lighter-color berries. With bright, citrus-like acidity and that familiar (but not overwhelming) hit of tannins, they are puckery-tart. Higher in pectin, a natural carbohydrate that helps fruit maintain its structure, Howes cranberries hold their shape even when sliced or cooked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct SEO\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTitle: Fresh Meadows Farm Organic Heirloom Cranberries | Milk Street Store\u003cbr\u003eDescription: Five pounds of organic, dry-harvested heirloom cranberries from Massachusetts, with rich flavor and bright acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fresh Meadows Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51054752825401,"sku":"MSFMCRAN26","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0099\/5868\/6777\/files\/fresh-meadows-farm-organic-heirloom-cranberries-fresh-dropship-fresh-meadows-farm-249069.jpg?v=1793823787","url":"https:\/\/store.177milkstreet.com\/products\/fresh-meadows-heirloom-organic-cranberries-5-lbs","provider":"Milk Street Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
