<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 20, 2012) Looking for that local touch for your Thanksgiving table?  Try cranberries, fresh from a bog in northern St. Lawrence County.  Peter Paquin owns Deer River Cranberries in Brasher Falls.He says local sales of his cranberries have grown fivefold.  He sells to North Country apple orchards and stores in Potsdam and Lake Placid.

But he says cranberries remain as lucrative a crop as ever.  David Sommerstein visited Paquin&apos;s cranberry bogs in 2008.
