Established in 1888 to standardize the measure with which cranberries are sold, the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' Association (CCCGA) is one of the country's oldest farmers' organizations. Today, the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' Association represents approximately 250 growers throughout Massachusetts. This unity has given growers both a single voice and collective strength in promoting the cranberry industry.

The Cranberry Institute is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1951 to further the success of United States and Canadian cranberry growers through health, agricultural and environmental stewardship research as well as cranberry promotion and education.

Cranberries are a group of evergreen dwarf shrubs or trailing vines in the genus Vaccinium subgenus Oxycoccus, or in some treatments, in the distinct genus Oxycoccus. They are found in acidic bogs throughout the cooler parts of the Northern Hemisphere.

Cranberries are low, creeping shrubs or vines up to 10 cm tall (often less), with slender, wiry stems, not thickly woody, and small evergreen leaves. The flowers are dark pink, with very distinct reflexed petals, leaving the style and stamens fully exposed and pointing forward. The fruit is a true berry that is larger than the leaves of the plant; it is initially white, but turns a deep red when fully ripe. It is edible, with an acidic taste that can overwhelm its sweetness.

Cranberries are a traditional Thanksgiving food in the United States.

No matter what preparation method you choose, cook cranberries only until they pop because overcooking gives them a bitter taste. Since cranberries are almost 90% water, do not thaw frozen cranberries before cooking them. Thawing will cause the fruit to break down, resulting in soft cranberries. Cranberries may be baked with a sweetener to make a topping or sauce. They are also good chopped with oranges to make a relish.
