Other important cranberry producing states include Massachusetts (2.26 million barrels), New Jersey (563,000 barrels), and Oregon (400,000 barrels). While most cranberries are grown in these four states, commercial cranberry production can also be found in Washington, Michigan, Minnesota, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
