BC’s 2017 cranberry harvest is underway
The cranberry season started on September 21st with the first berries for the fresh market being harvested, quickly followed on September 25h with berries that will end up in juices, sauces, sweetened dried cranberries (Craisins) and more.
“We are excited to see harvest is underway, knowing our growers have put in lots of hard work to grow another excellent crop.” says Jack Brown, Chairman of the BC Cranberry Marketing Commission.
Cranberry harvest in BC offers consumers an opportunity to purchase fresh BC cranberries at local supermarkets for Canadian Thanksgiving on October 9. Just look for the little bag of Ocean Spray cranberries in your produce department with a green emblem identifying fresh, local, BC cranberries.
