Geocache Description:

The cranberry industry increased production between 1877 and the turn of the century as demand for the tart berries increased, when it hit a period of stagnation. Cranberries weren’t sought after by Americans except during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and the established bogs on the East Coast already filled that market. To make matters worse, East Coast vines brought with them non-native pests, marketing West Coast berries was expensive due to its geographic isolation, start-up costs for the bogs was high, and taxes were frequently higher than profits.


Help arrived in the early 1920s in the form of J.D. Crowley. Conducting tests over a 30-year period at the Cranberry Research Station, Crowley was able to make recommendations to solve a number of pest, frost and other local problems.
