About Us
OUR HERITAGE
The Ocean Spray story starts in 1930 when three passionate, independent cranberry growers found the key to expanding the superfruit's success: a single cranberry-growing family! By coming together in one cooperative, Marcus Urann, John Makepeace and Elizabeth Lee worked together to create deliciously innovative products with the fruit they loved. The best part? They continued to grow their cranberry family along the way, which now includes over 700 grower families across North and South America!
THE FOUNDING
Once our three founders banded together and launched their first product - Jellied Cranberry Sauce - there was no stopping the Ocean Spray Cooperative. Growers from Wisconsin, Washington and Oregon quickly joined the cooperative, and within its first decade, Ocean Spray became the producer of cranberry juice drinks! Our products were hitting store shelves from coast to coast, and as more years passed, more and more products were created. But to this day, the original Ocean Spray products remain our most popular: Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce and Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Cocktail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the single-serve pouches make it easy to grab a controlled portion at my desk?
Yes. Each 5 oz pouch is pre-portioned, so you can keep a few at your desk and grab exactly one serving without the temptation of over-snacking from a large bag.
Will the tangy flavor and natural sweetness help me power through an afternoon slump?
Many people reach for these dried cranberries as a midday focus snack because the bright, tangy flavor feels like a treat and the natural fruit sugars offer a quick energy lift.
Is the packaging quiet enough to open during a meeting or video call?
The flexible pouches are easy to open and reseal, and they're far less noisy than crinkly chip bags, making them a low-distraction option for a busy workday.
How does the 50% less sugar formula help me stay on track with my health goals during a hectic week?
With half the sugar of regular Craisins, you can satisfy a snack craving at 3 p.m. without consuming a full sugar bomb, which fits a productive, health-conscious work routine.
Can I keep a few pouches in my home office without them going stale?
The zip lock resealable closure keeps the fruit fresh, so you can store a few pouches in a desk drawer or kitchen cabinet and use them over several days or weeks.
Is this a good snack to keep on hand for back-to-back meetings and a packed work schedule?
Yes. The single-serve pouches are easy to stash in a desk drawer, a briefcase, or a home office setup, so you always have a quick, portion-controlled snack within reach.
Can I pair this with Greek yogurt or oatmeal for a productive breakfast before a long workday?
Absolutely. Stirring dried cranberries into Greek yogurt or oatmeal adds tangy fruit flavor and lasting energy, helping you start a busy day on a satisfying note.
Will Subscribe & Save help me keep a steady supply at my desk without reordering constantly?
Yes. Subscribe & Save is an easy way to automate your restocks, often at a lower per-pouch price, so you never run out of your workday go-to snack.
Does the 25% daily fruit serving help me hit my nutrition goals during a busy week?
Each serving covers 25% of your daily recommended fruit intake, which is a meaningful boost for busy professionals who don't always have time to prep fresh fruit.
Is this a smart choice for a study snack when I'm prepping for exams or deadlines?
Yes. The combination of natural fruit sugars, satisfying flavor, and convenient packaging makes these dried cranberries a great study snack that won't weigh you down.
How do these 50% less sugar Craisins compare to a candy bar for a midday energy boost?
These offer a tangy-sweet flavor with 50% less sugar than regular Craisins and provide a serving of fruit, making them a more mindful energy option than a typical candy bar.
Compared to fresh fruit, why would I choose dried cranberries for a productivity-focused desk snack?
Dried cranberries are shelf-stable, don't need refrigeration, and won't bruise in a desk drawer, so you can keep a steady supply at your workstation without worrying about spoilage.
What if the dried cranberries feel too firm for a quick desk snack — is there a faster way to enjoy them?
You can steam them in a small amount of water to plump them up, or simply stir them into warm oatmeal or yogurt for a softer texture and a more filling bite.
I'm worried about crumbs and sticky residue at my desk — will these pouches stay clean?
The zip lock pouches contain the fruit well, and the dried cranberries themselves are low in moisture, so you'll avoid the sticky residue and crumbs that come with many other desk snacks.
Will the zip lock stay sealed if I toss a pouch into a laptop bag or briefcase?
Yes. The resealable closure is designed to stay shut, so the pouches hold up well when carried in a laptop bag, briefcase, or work tote.
I already buy regular Craisins — is the cost difference with Subscribe & Save actually worth it?
Customers frequently mention that the 12-count pack is inexpensive on its own, and Subscribe & Save makes it even more affordable, which is a strong value for a regular desk snack.
How should I store the pouches after I open one to keep the fruit fresh?
After opening, simply press the zip lock seal closed to remove excess air and store the pouch in a cool, dry place like a pantry, cabinet, or desk drawer. The resealable closure is designed to keep the fruit fresh between servings.
Can I steam or rehydrate the dried cranberries before eating them?
Yes. To plump them up, add the cranberries to a small pot with a splash of water, bring to a gentle simmer for a few minutes, and drain. They'll soften and taste juicier, which works well for both snacking and baking.
What are some easy recipes I can make with these dried cranberries?
These dried cranberries are versatile in the kitchen — stir them into Greek yogurt or oatmeal for breakfast, fold them into muffin or cookie batter, mix them into homemade trail mix with nuts and seeds, add them to salads or grain bowls, or use them in cranberry walnut bread and fruit cakes.
Are these dried cranberries compatible with a gluten-free or peanut-free diet?
Yes. The recipe is certified gluten-free and peanut-free, so it fits common household allergy and dietary restrictions without any cross-contamination concerns from those two allergens.
Will these work with my Subscribe & Save auto-delivery schedule on Shopify?
Yes. The product is available via Subscribe & Save, so you can set your preferred delivery cadence — whether that's monthly, bi-monthly, or every few months — and adjust or cancel anytime from your account.
What's actually in the box when my order arrives?
Your order includes twelve 5 oz resealable pouches of Ocean Spray Craisins 50% Less Sugar Dried Cranberries, totaling 60 oz of dried fruit. No additional accessories or prep are required — the pouches are ready to eat or use in recipes right out of the package.
Is it safe to eat these dried cranberries if I'm watching my sugar intake for a medical reason?
These contain 50% less sugar than original Craisins, but they still contain natural and added sugars from fruit. If you have a medical condition that requires strict sugar monitoring, consult your healthcare provider before adding any dried fruit to your diet.
Are these dried cranberries safe for pets like dogs to eat as an occasional treat?
Some dog owners offer small amounts of dried cranberries as an occasional treat, but the recipe is formulated for human consumption. Always check with your veterinarian before sharing any human food with your dog, and avoid cranberries in recipes that include xylitol, chocolate, or other ingredients that are toxic to pets.
What's the difference between dried cranberries and fresh cranberries for everyday use?
Dried cranberries are shelf-stable, portable, and available year-round, while fresh cranberries are highly seasonal and require refrigeration. Dried cranberries also have a concentrated sweet-tart flavor and chewy texture, making them more convenient for snacking, baking, trail mix, and lunchboxes — though they do contain more concentrated natural sugars per serving than fresh berries.
