Vincent plans cranberry juice launch
Using what the company president calls a "brutally simple" recipe, Vincent Family Cranberries of Bandon and Beaverton is preparing to launch a new kind of cranberry juice in May aimed at "locavores" and natural food enthusiasts.
On May 1st, the juice, made with cranberry juice, water and raw organic agave, will become available at its first outlets, the Beaverton and Hillsboro farmers markets.
The company will use a paper label made from bamboo and is pursuing both Food Alliance and organic certification.
The juice is an Oregon production bottled at Dundee Fruit in Dundee. The agave is from Glory Bee Foods in Eugene.
"We’ve practiced responsible and sustainable farming before it had a name. That’s why our land has supported cranberry farming for so long," said Tim Vincent, president of Vincent Family Cranberries which has been in operation since 1957.
Oregon is the fourth largest cranberry producing state in the United States – its crops make up about 7 percent of the total U.S. crop.
