Ocean Spray Cranberry Growers --

Since our first cranberry crop was harvested in 1816, Massachusetts has become a leading producer, representing 35% of the world's cranberries. That's pretty impressive when you consider that 70% of our state's growers are small family farms with less than 20 acres of bogs. We take a lot of pride in our cranberry heritage. In fact, we've made it our official state berry and color, and cranberry juice the official state drink.
