You would have to strip all the vegetation from the surface (area to be planted), sand it, then plant cuttings. Surface stripping the wet areas can be done a bit every year with a small bulldozer and the material can be used for levee constuction and road access to your area. It is possible depending on the type of growth to just cover and plant but that would need more info to evaluate that. Cuttings of cranberry are easy enough to get by finding other bogs that are thinning out their plants but you need to be prepped and ready to plant while the cutting are viable. They store moist in a cooler. That is a start. If you plan to go organic it can be a bit problematic to start but all depends on where you are in relation to other bogs.
