Our dried cranberries come from Wisconsin.

A young vine planted gives its first harvest after 3 years and produces in abundance until 25 years. After that, the yield is less, some vines in Wisconsin are over 100 years old! For more than 10 years, we have been working in close collaboration with two suppliers selected for their expertise and quality.
When the cranberry is ripe, the fields are immersed and lightly stirred to allow the berries to drop out vines and rise to the surface. Cranberry consisting of 4 small cavities filled with air, they are very light and therefore float on the surface of the immersed field. So just gather it with large buoys and then pump it up. The last step is cleaning and selecting fruits before the distribution.
