Saw these at the New Amsterdam market and dismissed them out of hand - but then discovered that actually there are heirloom varieties. So now my question is - has anyone tried them, and were they worth it?

We're pretty close ground zero of commercial cranberry production in the Midwest (Tomah, WI area) so our growing conditions should be decent but I have never seen heirloom cranberries in the stores or at farmers markets.
Occasionally we see wild highbush cranberries which, curiously, aren't cranberries. But they do look and taste fairly similar.

those are not for eating they are used for making winter quilts
“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. 'Oh, no!', I said, 'Disneyland burned down.' He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

I think what I bought last year are heirloom. Even more so now that they've been in my freezer for about 11 months.
