Every year come holiday season, the humble little cranberry gets its time to shine.
This family-owned farm has been growing cranberries on the Southern Oregon Coast since 1966, farming their own bogs and supplying freshly harvested berries for local growers.
In 1966, Roy Peters purchased the land and began farming cranberries. Over the years, more acres were added, along with a cranberry cleaning facility. Today, this family-run cranberry farm in Oregon spans 50 acres, and handles fruit for dozens of growers during harvest.
Their bounty is primarily sold to be pressed into juice and bottled under the R.W. Knudsen Family label, which you've probably seen at the shelves of your local grocery store!
The operation, which is owned today by Peters' granddaughter Sara Osborne, uses old-school techniques for growing and cultivating the berries, utilizing a cranberry beater to carefully harvest the bogs.
Peters' Cranberries is a place that honors old traditions, and wholly respects the art of farming -- and the fertile, beautiful land with which it coexists.
You'll find the Peters' Cranberries farm stand at 93030 Airport Rd., Sixes, OR, 97476.
Cranberries deserve a spot at your table all year-round -- and because of this amazing local farm in Oregon, we always have access to the very best and most delicious cranberries!
