Farm News: State Cranberry Growers Revamp Web PresencecommentsPosted: 07.05.2011 The Wisconsin Cranberry Discovery Center has launched a new website aimed at promoting Wisconsin’s cranberry industry through online product sales and attracting regional guests to its cranberry museum. “We are thrilled to help promote the state’s largest fruit crop, encourage tourism to the area and increase the use of Wisconsin cranberry products through this collaborative effort,” Hendricks said. She said another key to the new web activity is a special 10 percent savings offered through August 1, 2011 for any online purchases made.
The online marketplace project, aimed at helping increase demand for cranberries, was funded through a U.S. Department of Agriculture Specialty Crop Block Grant. These grants are administered by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, and aim to increase Wisconsin’s competitiveness in the domestic and foreign marketplace.
“There are some really delicious and innovative cranberry products made in Wisconsin or with Wisconsin berries, but the products or manufacturers are not well known,” said Hendricks. “With TheCranberryStore.com, we aim to change that by providing a worldwide online market.”
