It is a myth that cranberries grow in water. Instead, cranberry beds are specially prepared, flat plots of land surrounded by dikes and ditches. These beds serve as the foundation for cranberry vines and experience minimal soil disturbance due to the cranberry’s nature as a perennial crop. In fact, some Wisconsin cranberry marshes have productive plants that are over 100 years old!

There's a reason cranberries feel right at home in Wisconsin: the state's natural resources and growers are hard to beat.

We would ask if you could name a view any more beautiful-- but we also know that cranberry harvest is just around the corner and the views are only getting started. We can't wait to enjoy that iconic sea of red real soon!

Cranberries are Wisconsin's state fruit, which makes sense because we supply roughly 2/3 of the national supply each year!

You may think we call cranberries a "superfruit" because of all of their health benefits (high in fiber, vitamins and antioxidants and good for whole-body health), but there are so many more reasons!

Name a fruit that can make its way into this many condiments (and we didn't even include them all)! Scroll to add some cranberry to your meals as you help us celebrate month with Wisconsin Cranberries!

In honor of World Wildlife Day, we’re celebrating the wildlife that shares Wisconsin’s cranberry-growing landscape. From bald eagles and sandhill cranes to bats, turtles, owls and pollinators, cranberry marshes provide habitat for a wide variety of species.

We’re giving away FIVE Aldo Leopold Foundation phenology calendars, sponsored by Wisconsin Cranberries along with some cranberry goodies! A phenology calendar follows seasonal changes in nature, from wildlife activity and migration to blooming plants and other signs of the changing seasons.
