Company History
In 1983, Northland Cranberries, Inc. launched its brand of 100% juice cranberry blends in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, sold through supermarkets, drug store chains, mass merchandisers and food service outlets throughout the United States. Publicly owned since 1987, Northland Crannberries, Inc.'s branded juice division was acquired by Apple & Eve in 2005 [1] becoming the largest independently owned juice company in the U.S.[2]
