About the Company

Ocean Spray

Grower-owned cooperative producing cranberry beverages

Ocean Spray is a grower-owned agricultural cooperative that produces cranberry- and citrus-based beverages. Its main products include cranberry juices, juice cocktails (such as Cran-Apple), and historically, jellied cranberry sauce. The cooperative model means the cranberry and grapefruit growers themselves own the company, which helps set stable prices and leverage collective marketing power. The product line expanded from cranberry sauce to juices after a crisis in 1959, targeting blended juice drinks to diversify beyond single-fruit offerings. Unlike many brands that are owned by outside investors, Ocean Spray has remained cooperatively owned and has rejected acquisition offers, maintaining alignment with its grower-owners. The company’s goal is to expand markets for its fruit by developing and selling juice beverages and other related products while providing stable returns to its growers.
