We’re getting our waders on in readiness for this year’s cranberry harvest, which is taking place at our grower-owner farms across North America.
All the fruit that makes our delicious juice drinks, sauces and Craisins® is wet harvested. In this ingenious harvesting technique, the cranberry marshes are flooded to a depth of about 45cm, and a 'water reel' machine churns up the water to loosen the berries from the vine, allowing them to float to the surface. The berries are then gathered, using floating booms, and conveyed to trucks on the shore.
It’s this method that brings about the spectacular scene in this month’s exclusive screen saver. As well as ensuring we have a host of healthy and delicious products all year round.
