The Great CRANBERRY State

Have you heard? Oceanspray is looking to Michigan for help with cranberry farming!

Since cranberries are grown and cultivated in water, it only makes sense that the Great Lakes State is a natural choice.
Oceanspray says it needs 6,000 acres for farming, which would mean we need only to find another 2,500.

This venture would give our state a $45 million boost, as well as around 1,600 jobs! (1,100 for the construction and 500 for farming).
Talk about a beacon of light in a dark economy!

All of this has got me thinking about this amazing little fruit, indigenous to America and a true Thanksgiving staple.

But why do we only bring it out during the holidays?
Let's celebrate the possible investment in Michigan's future!

Cheers! Here's to the cranberry!
