THE CRANBERRY LADY
A bold, innovative and fun brand that is creating a buzz in the local market.
A local advertising company studied The Cranberry Lady products and came up with six key words that give the brand it's footprint:
• Innovative
• Unique
• Creative
• Tasty
• Wholesome
• Fun
Because the products received such a positive response during so many years of selling at the cranberry farm and through the test phase at retail grocery stores, Lorraine Tilson (a.k.a The Cranberry Lady) decided, after selling her farm, to jump in and take on the challenge of taking each of her products to their full potential in the marketplace.
About Us
In June of 1993, Lorraine Tilson took on the ownership and management of a 160 acre cranberry farm nestled in the beautiful Glen Valley, ten minutes from Fort Langley BC. During the next 14 years she developed a passion, love and respect for what she calls this "mighty berry".
"It's such an amazing and rewarding experience to watch a lovely pink blossom in May go through this transformation into a bright, healthy, ruby berry the size of large cherries in October" says Lorraine.
During the annual October trek to her farm for fresh cranberries her customers kept asking for healthier cranberry food options - the cry for sugrarless products was loud and clear.
And so began the development of The Cranberry Lady line of food products - sauces, juices, vinaigrettes, fruit spreads, dried cranberries, chocolate covered cranberries and a cranberry cleanse.
The name "The Cranberry Lady" was given to Lorraine by the people of Langley and Abbotsford so it was a natural extension to use it in an expanded way.
The Cranberry Lady is on a mission to take the cranberry to a whole new level - both fresh flavours, fun packaging and healthier options.
The people of BC were very supportive during the original test phase and the 2010 farmer's markets re-introduction. They are anxiously awaiting seeing the product on the shelves of grocery stores in the fall of 2010 and in an expanded list of stores in 2011.
