Our Purpose

Connecting Farms to Families for a Better Life

Connecting Farms to Families for a Better Life

Ocean Spray is a farmer-owned cooperative founded in 1930 on the very principle that we are stronger when we are working together. Today, Ocean Spray consists of 700 small family farms, with an average size of 18 acres per farm, who have helped preserve the farmer family way of life for generations. Just as our farmers have been innovating for 90 years, so is Ocean Spray. Leading by purpose, Ocean Spray is committed to the power of good—creating good, nutritious food that has a direct and powerful impact for the health of people and planet.

Nutrition

Cranberries are a nutritional powerhouse: rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, fibers, and vitamins.
