Cranberries / Read the AARP article in the February/March Issue, 2014

Read the article in AARP the Magazine, titled " Eat Red for Heart Health ". The article talks about three foods that when eaten on a daily basis can reduce your risk of Heart Disease by as much as 40%. We as Cranberry Growers are all aware of these things, lets get out there and see that these ideas are constantly on other peoples minds. The three foods mentioned are, Tomatoes which supply Licopene, an antioxidant compound that gives foods their color. Apples also contain antioxidants, and an Apple a day can be very helpful in reducing bad Cholesteral (LDL) by as much as 40%. Finally Cranberries or Cranberry Juice can increase good Cholesteral by as much as 10%, and reduce Heart Disease by up to 40%. Please read the article for verification of these comments, and also to learn about the people and Institutions responsible for these findings.

Brief Update, New Building and Location

Hi folks, Just a brief update on how our new location is progressing. We own our new property, it was purchased during the month of October, 2013. SWe have been working with our engineers, and the Town of Carver's Planning Board along with Town Planner, Jack Hunter. It's been a fairly long drawn out procedure. Our plans were finally approved last Tuesday night, February 18th. We now have to wait 21 days for any appeals to be brought forth. We do not expect anything to stand in our way at this point. Next would come actually applying for a building permit. We also expect that process to go smoothly. As soon as a Building Permit is issued, we can then order the building parts to be manufactured and delivered to the site. Because of the several delays we've run into, and also the quite intense winter we do not expect to be able to get going as early as we had hoped. So it looks as though we will spend one more summer here at our old location, and hopefully be able to move to our new facility sometime in the early fall of this year. Just so you'll all know, if you don't already the address of the new location will b; #1 Marion Drive, off Plymouth Street in North Carver, 1/4 mile east of the Middleboro Town Line. It is located approximately 3 miles west of our present location. We feel you will all find it very easy to find when the time comes. Thank You for your interest, Mike Utley
