LAKE DUBAY, WI (WSAU-WAOW) -Cranberry season is here.
Cranberries are a perennial crop, so they are taken care of year-round to be ready for fall harvest.
Wisconsin’s climate provides the perfect atmosphere with the right amount and type of water for healthy growing.
Cranberries can be used for everything from juices to pastries. “Cranberries can be found in a thousand different (recipes) and in 100 different countries. Cranberries itself are very healthy for you, rich in antioxidants and have an anti-plaque characteristic in it,” said Dave Hanson, Manager at the Ocean Spray Cranberry Company in Lake Dubay.
In addition to being versatile, Hanson said the industry provides over 1,500 jobs and is a billion-dollar crop in the Badger State.
