Ocean Spray

Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc. stands as a massive agricultural cooperative rooted in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. This organization unites over 700 growers across the United States and Canada, extending its reach into Chile to manage the harvest of North America's most iconic berry. With operations spanning from the bogs of Wisconsin to the fields of New Jersey, the group employs roughly 2,000 workers and generated $1.2 billion in sales during fiscal year 2013 alone.

The cooperative controls approximately 70% of all cranberry production in North America, giving it significant sway over market standards and pricing. Their product portfolio anchors on beverages like Ocean Spray Juice Cocktail and Pure Juice lines, alongside dried snacks known as Craisins. The brand also maintains a strong culinary presence with canned cranberry sauce, a staple for holiday tables despite growing competition in that category.

In June 2026, the company shifted strategies by appointing Abigail Buckwalter as President and CEO. Buckwalter arrives from Nestlé Health Science to lead the cooperative toward health-focused innovations and global expansion. Recent moves include launching Zero Sugar Island Mixes in 2026 and partnering with Brandgenuity to expand licensing opportunities beyond traditional beverage aisles. [edit]
