We currently do not offer an organic option. Our cranberry marsh that we source the fruit from has been commercially producing cranberries since 1873, and we were one of the first cranberry marshes to implement an integrated pest management program in the early 1980s. We pride ourselves in being good stewards of the land, maintaining wildlife diversity, and managing the ecosystem as a whole. The fertilizers we use come from nutrients found in the soil, and we use biological controls whenever possible, such as flooding for early-season insect control. Cranberries need nitrogen to grow, but cannot use the typical nitrate form. The form of nitrogen cranberries can utilize is ammonium sulfate, and the cranberry industry is highly regulated in regards to adding anything to the soil. There is no genetic modifying in any way, no need for roundup ready products, and the co-op that we buy the fertilizers, etc from is certified/regulated through the state of Wisconsin. We live on the farm, we value clean water, and are very mindful as to what we apply to the nearby cranberry beds. We constantly focus on our sustainability program, and always use the best management practices established by UW-Madison.

How should these be stored after opening? Is it best to refrigerate unopened bags? What is the typical expiration date/"use by" date?

From a food safety standpoint, the product lasts much longer than our best by date. The cranberries may continue to dry out (arguably making them more shelf stable), the color may dull, or surface sugars may appear, but they are still 100% safe to enjoy.
