This week we talked to Amber Bristow of Cranberry Chats about raising the 6th generation of cranberry growers on her family farm in Wisconsin. Amber also cohosts the Forward Farming Podcast with dairy farmer Becca Hilby. Turns out growing cranberries is nothing like what any of us think, and it's actually super interesting.
