Come Thanksgiving, cranberries hit tables across the US. Usually in sauce form. But these pink super fruits have a long journey before they ever make it to your holiday plate. Odds are your cranberries started here in New England, on an Ocean Spray farm.Hi, I'm Alison Carr and I am a 6th generation cranberry farmer here in Massachusetts, and you are on my family farm.Headquartered in Lakeville, Massachusetts, Ocean Spray harvests 220 billion cranberries a year.
They then rake all the berries into vacuums that suck them up into the backs of trucks. The trucks are sent off to the Ocean Spray processing plants where they're unloaded. Those berries can become one of 1,000 different products. Ranging from juices, to dried cranberries, to of course, cranberry sauce. Each year, Ocean Spray facilities produce about 88 million cans of cranberry sauce, and 223 million bottles of juice! Their products are sold in stores across a hundred different countries.
Now we can resume Thanksgiving prep! I will tweet how to properly 'plate' this side dish tomorrow 😁 cannedcranberry theonlycranberry
