Now our daughter and her husband are managing it. We have been Ocean Spray members ever since Eatmor Cranberries and Cranberry Canners merged in the late 1940's, and we are appealing now to the Department of Agriculture for some support so that we won't have to abandon our marsh and our livelihood. Many growers are being forced out of business. In the long term we need a reduction in supply and an increase in demand. The cranberry industry is working hard for the latter, and now we are asking the Department of Agriculture to help with the reduction.
Timing is important.
We need to make plans for the summer growing season. We thank you for your help last year and we trust you will again give us a hand.
