The Mighty Cranberry
((SOT)) 
((David Ross, Owner, Cranberry Bog Tours)) 
The cranberries don't care what's going on in the world.  The 
beauty of the crop and the natural world is, the crop grows, 
the cranberries grow, regardless of what's going on in the 
human world.

((SOT)) 
((Daniel Woodridge-Williams, Volunteer)) 
You don’t have to have immediate family.  You have people 
that come together to do something to support somebody 
else.  That’s why I love here.  I don’t complain about it.  I do 
complain a lot.  I complain.  But it gets better.  It gets better.

I love everything about chocolate.  Making it, working with it

my chocolate.

Cranberries are a native fruit to North America.  They are 
only one of three fruits that were growing here before the 
Europeans came.  There were only cranberries, blueberries 
and Concord grapes here before the Europeans arrived.  
And so, the native Americans that lived here since, you 
know, who knows how long, how many thousands of years 
they lived here before the Europeans, they harvested the 
cranberries that grew here wild in the swamps.  
((NATS/MUSIC)) 
((David Ross, Owner, Cranberry Bog Tours)) 
I think everybody's here.  Welcome.  Thank you everybody 
for coming.  I'm Dave.  This is part of my cranberry farm 
here.  I have 80 acres [32 hectares] of cranberries altogether 
on our farm.  I came down here after college and bought a 
farm.  I'd worked on farms in high school.  So, we started 
small and have grown.  We have farms all the way from 
about five miles [8 km] down the road to the west in East 
Sandwich.  
((NATS/MUSIC)) 
((David Ross, Owner, Cranberry Bog Tours)) 
Well, the Cape is a good place to grow cranberries because 
the climate is right, the soil is right, everything is just right 
here.  I call it my Goldilocks theory.  There's no real school 
where you can go to learn how to grow cranberries.  So, I 
learned pretty much all on the job and then in 1986, I met an 
old guy, and I joke about, in the 1980s, there were no such 
thing as a mentor.  We just called him an old man.  He was 
the old man that had the farm next door, but he became my 
mentor and I bought his farm and he really showed me a lot 
of things that had taken him, his whole career, his whole 
lifetime.  
((NATS/MUSIC)) 
((David Ross, Owner, Cranberry Bog Tours)) 
The water reel is the machine that knocks the cranberries 
loose from the vines.  We flood the bogs.  We run the water 
reel through.  The water reel breaks the cranberries loose or 
agitates them.  So, the cranberries float in the water.  After 
they are knocked loose or knocked off, we'll raise the water 
level up and then we'll come back in a day or so, gather 
them together.  We call it racking or corralling when we 
gather them.  And then we'll pump them out of the water with 
the big pump rig which separates the cranberries from any 
leaves or other debris that's in there and pumps the clean 
cranberries out of the water and into the truck to go to the 
factory to the processor. 
((NATS/MUSIC)) 
((David Ross, Owner, Cranberry Bog Tours)) 
This is kind of a family business, a little bit of a family.  I 
started it. My son hopefully will take over.  He's involved now 
so.  
((NATS)) 
((James Ross, Son and Co-owner, Cranberry Bog 
Tours)) 
Well, I got into the cranberry business through birth, pretty 
much, born into it.  When I was growing up, I lived on about 
a 10-acre farm that my dad owns and operates.  And then 
over the years, he's expanded from there.  And then I started 
getting more into it, probably about eight years ago.  We 
looked at a farm together and we purchased it about five 
years ago.  And so now as partners, I play a little bit more of 
a role in that bog in particular and help him out when I can at 
the other places.  
((NATS/MUSIC)) 
((David Ross, Owner, Cranberry Bog Tours)) 
The pandemic has really probably helped the business a 
little bit because everybody went into their stock-up-their-
bunker mode in the beginning.  So, we sold a lot of cranberry 
juice initially.  But in a lot of ways, it hasn't affected the 
business much because the cranberries don't care what's 
going on in the world.  The beauty of the crop and the 
natural world is, it's oblivious to what's going on in the 
human world.  The crop grows.  The cranberries grow, 
regardless of what's going on in the world.

been scaled back because of the pandemic.))

Gravy…..quick, before my pot starts burning….. 
((Popup Banner:   
This is their story from last year and what they hope to 
continue in the years to come.)) 
((NATS)) 
((Carolyn Marshall, Mother Dear’s Community Center)) 
Get this gravy going and then we’re going to pray and then 
we can start serving, I mean packaging the food.  We all 
have a lot to be thankful for.  We are alive and among the 
living and I thank God that we have the opportunity to help 
someone this day.  You know, people that, some of the 
seniors, this may be the only meal they have this week, I 
understand.  Let us all be in unity and let us all have fun as 
we put together these meals.  In Jesus’s name, amen. 
((Volunteers)) 
Amen. Amen. Amen 
((Carolyn Marshall, Mother Dear’s Community Center)) 
So, between my sister and I, we cooked 30 turkeys for the 
holiday.  My mother started the organization and it’s just 
something that’s a part of me now.  It’s part of my life.  I can’t 
imagine doing anything else on the holiday but preparing 
meals for the less fortunate.  So, I like doing it.

So, these are the routes.  I need to tally and see just how 
many meals total we have.  Because we have 60 some 
drivers.  So, I have to make a route for each driver.  I haven’t 
had that many drivers in a long, very long time.

You better take it, scrape it, oh, scrape the ends of that 
ma’am.  We’re not throwing that away.  Oh no, you could put 
that in a plate and I’ll eat it. 
((Daniel Woodridge-Williams, Carolyn Marshall’s

This is the most workout I get every year.  Like, being in the 
house period, this is the most workout I get.  And I don’t 
even like to cook.  You don’t have to have immediate family. 
You have people that come together to do something to 
support somebody else.  And that’s what I like so, that’s why 
I love it.  I don’t complain about it.  I do complain a lot.  I

I was around my grandmother when she started this and that 
was like in the early 80s.  And then when she passed away, 
my aunt and my mother took over.  And we’re just still into it.

parking around there.  All the parking spaces are taken.

((Juliana Desmond, Chocolate Artist))
When I work with chocolate, I feel like a passion just take 
over me.  The connection I have with chocolate feels really 
ancient like it goes back lifetimes.  I love everything about 
chocolate.  Making it, working with it and especially the 
reaction I get from people when they try my chocolate.  
((Juliana Desmond, Chocolate Artist))
     My name is Juliana Desmond and I am a chocolate artist. 
((NATS/MUSIC)) 
((Juliana Desmond, Chocolate Artist))
I became inspired to work with chocolate after seven trips 
that I had taken to Mexico.  During my travels, I had a lot of 
ideas for art that I wanted to create.   
((Courtesy:  Ramon Garcia)) 
I do hand-building, mostly sculptures because I was traveling 
so much, I didn't have the opportunity to create. 
When I came back to Tucson and was a little more 
grounded, I got the idea why not make molds that are food 
safe and I can pour chocolate in them.
((NATS/MUSIC)) 
((Juliana Desmond, Chocolate Artist))
So first, we're going to start with making a mold with a 
thermo-forming machine.  This is typically used by dentists 
for making dental implants.  I use it for making chocolate 
molds.  Turn the heat on and this top part will heat up. 
     It's going to get pretty loud once I turn it on the vacuum. 
((NATS/MUSIC)) 
((Juliana Desmond, Chocolate Artist))
     And that's a mold. 
Originally, I was doing the chocolate art as a business and I 
realized that it wasn't bringing me as much joy.  I was losing 
my passion and enthusiasm for it as an art.  It became 
repetitive and realized that I had to shift my perspective.  I 
allowed myself to dream up a plan to take the art of 
chocolate making to Mexico because that's where cacao 
originated, but the people there don't have access to 
equipment, to the practices of fine chocolate making.  Those 
were all developed in Europe and never made it back to the 
land where cacao originated.
((NATS)) 
((Juliana Desmond, Chocolate Artist))
So now that it's cooled, take the tray out of there and pop the 
design out and there's your mold.  This here is a silicone 
mold that I made of some cactus.  And this is the thermal 
formed mold that we just made.  Now I'm going to pour the 
chocolate into the molds.  Now put it in the fridge.  
((NATS)) 
((Juliana Desmond, Chocolate Artist)) 
Besides learning techniques for chocolate making, I also 
learned about many unjust practices in the cacao industry.  
((Courtesy: Ramon Garcia)) 
I planned a trip to Tabasco, Mexico where most of the cacao 
grown in Mexico comes from and I reached out to a co-op 
that helps farmers process their beans dry and ferment 
them.  I took with me a thermal-forming machine that I 
donated to them so they could create their own culturally- 
inspired custom molds.   
((Courtesy: Ramon Garcia)) 
They gave me a tour of their co-op and that's when I realized 
I could make a difference.  And I taught a two-day workshop 
so they could learn how to make truffles themselves.  The 
class that I taught was mostly women and they were all very 
excited and enthusiastic about learning new methods of 
((Courtesy: Ramon Garcia))
processing their cacao and new recipes to make with it, 
because typically in that region of Mexico, what they make is 
a beverage and they were very excited to learn how to make 
more than just beverages. 
((NATS)) 
((Juliana Desmond, Chocolate Artist))
My favorite chocolate is a truffle because it has cream and 
butter.  As far as tempering and chocolate art goes, dark 
chocolate is the easiest to work with.  
((NATS))
Oh, wow.  
I like the way you pack them because it’s a single serving.  I 
like that.
     Gorgeous.
     Yeah, they are.
Awesome.  
Thank you so much.   
You’re welcome.  
     We've got desserts for the whole weekend. 
((NATS/MUSIC)) 
((Juliana Desmond, Chocolate Artist))
Now I only make chocolate occasionally for friends and 
family and I take orders on my web site seasonally and for 
the holidays. 
     ((Juliana Desmond, Chocolate Artist))
I keep in contact with the ladies and they've told me that 
the melanger has revolutionized the way that they make 
chocolate.  Seeing the reaction brought so much fulfillment 
and I felt like it was my calling as an artist.  It gave me a lot 
of satisfaction.  My hope is to empower the women with work 
opportunities that preserve their culture and they can pass 
on to their future generations.

When we unmask terror
     When we explain the impossible
When we confront an uncertain future 
When we give voice to the voiceless
