Ten years ago, cranberry farming in Newfoundland & Labrador was on the brink. Prices dropped, government support faded, and many farms shut down. But the growers who stayed the course are now seeing record harvests. Through their co-op Cran-Pac Foods, N.L. farmers are exporting nearly 3 million pounds of cranberries this year. This is their best season yet!

The next challenge? Growing local demand and building a processing plant that could help the industry thrive for generations.

✨ A true story of resilience and renewal.

🐝 Blossoms & Bees: Pollination Season in BC Cranberry Bogs 🌸
In Langley, BC, cranberry fields come alive in June and July! But...not with berries, but with blossoms and bees! 🐝✨

Local cranberry growers, like Brian DeWit from Creekside Cranberries, bring in honeybee hives during this critical time to pollinate the cranberry blossoms and ensure a healthy fall harvest.

This video, courtesy of the BC Cranberry Marketing Commission and Keith Dobie/Pathfinder Productions, offers a glimpse into the wet harvest method, where fields are flooded and berries are collected in the fall. 🎥 Watch the full journey and learn more at bccranberries.com

Cranberry vines are evergreen, but in early spring their leaves turn a deep red. This vibrant color isn’t just for show but it’s a natural adaptation. The red pigment helps reflect UV light and pauses photosynthesis, protecting the vines from cold spring temperatures. As the weather warms, the red fades and the leaves turn green again which signals the start of the growing season. 🌱

🍒 How the Trade War is Changing Your Breakfast Table: We’re summarizing a recent CBC article on how the U.S.-Canada trade war is changing grocery shopping habits—and cranberries are in the spotlight! With new tariffs in place, more Canadians are swapping U.S. imports for homegrown options—including refreshing, locally grown cranberry juice.

🔹 Canadian-grown cranberries are a tariff-free choice for your morning juice
🔹 More shoppers are checking labels and choosing local over American imports
🔹 The movement to "de-Americanize" grocery stores is gaining momentum

As demand shifts, Canadian cranberry growers could see a boost, but will people be willing to pay a little more for local products?
