Eating a bunch of Cranberries is an excellent way for Fallout 76 players to regenerate their health quickly and get extra fruit in their diets. Aside from being a useful consumable item, Fallout 76’s cranberries are crucial ingredients in complex crafting recipes. This includes advanced cooking recipes, allowing players to cook food with various useful temporary boosts to help them as they journey across Appalachia.
Like other consumable items, including Fallout 76’s Dog Food, cranberries can reliably be found in several locations. Of course, some locations will have more than others, and players should prioritize these if their weapons and gear are solid enough to keep them safe. To pick some berries, however, players will need to explore the dangerous wilderness of the Cranberry Bog region in search of cranberry plants.
Plan for a longer expedition when going to search out cranberries to expedite the process and gather as many as you can in one swoop to only encounter this dangerous location once.

Locations To Find Cranberries In Fallout 76
Exploring The Cranberry Bog
The Cranberry Bog region is located in the southeast region of the map, a good distance away from Appalachia’s Middle Mountain Cabins. According to the Fallout Wiki and the Youtube channel PoxiiPro, cranberry plants can be found in the following locations:
- Aaronholt Homestead
- Cranberry Glade
- Creekside Sundew Grove
- Giant Teapot
- Helvetia
- Mac’s Farm
- Overgrown Sundew Grove
- Sparse Sundew Grove
- Sunrise Field
- Superior Sunset Farm
- Thomas Farm
- Veiled Sundew Grove
- The General’s Steakhouse
All of these locations are marked on the map above. It’s worth noting that most of the locations where cranberry plants can be found are located in the Cranberry Bog region. As such, players searching for cranberries should prioritize exploring this region and stock up with gear and ammo. However, a few plants can also be found outside this region at the Aaronholt Homestead, Giant Teapot, Helvetia, and Thomas Farm specifically. Cranberries don’t take up much space, but players might like to grab one of Fallout 76’s handy backpacks to help them carry any extra loot they find.
According to content creator PoxiiPro, players who want to grab many cranberries should head to the Creekside Sundew Grove and Sunrise Field, where they can find many cranberry plants. Having the Green Thumb and Good with Salt perks can also prove useful. Green Thumb allows players to harvest double when picking flora, while Good with Salt reduces the rate at which food items spoil. This lets players harvest more cranberries and return to their camps with backpacks full of fruit.

All Recipes
Now that you have all the cranberries you can muster, what do you do with them after that? You can eat them raw or sell them to a trader in Fallout 76, but the most efficient use of the cranberries will be in a recipe. However, do not leave the cranberries raw too long, as they spoil in 90 minutes. There are seven total recipes that can be made with cranberries, and you can see them all in the table below:
Recipe Name |
Components |
Effects |
|---|---|---|
Cranberry Cobbler |

Cranberry Meatball Grinder |
|
|
Cranberry Moonshine |
|
|
Cranberry Relish |
|
|
Granny's Tea |
|
|
Disease Cure |

The last two recipes have other variants as well based on ingredients from other map regions in Fallout 76. However, all variants work the same way and have the same effects. So, if you are not using your cranberries for food, you can use them to make recipes that will at least heal you. And that is everything you can do with cranberries in Fallout 76.
