The company that first made dried cranberries now has a footprint in the heart of cranberry country. Graceland Fruit of Frankfurt, Mich., announced on Monday that it will assume production of dried cranberries and cranberry juice at the CranGrow facility in Warrens, the Tomah Journal reported. CranGrow opened the $20 million facility in August 2016 but filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2017. A bankruptcy judge in Eau Claire, Mich., approved a plan in which CranGrow would lease the processing plant to Graceland and remain in business as a grower-owned cooperative. CranGrow will continue to own the building and operate a cranberry receiving station on the site.
