Wisconsin’s cranberry harvest typically begins in late September and runs until mid-October. The states’ growers are expecting a 4.97 million barrel crop in 2023, based on US Cranberry Marketing Committee (CMC) crop projections. Wisconsin’s final 2022 crop came in at 4.84 million barrels.
If the projections stay true, Wisconsin will remain the largest cranberry producer in the world, growing and harvesting approximately 60% of the nation’s supply. The other large cranberry-growing states and their 2023 crop size projections are Massachusetts at 1.95 million barrels, New Jersey at 561,000 barrels, Oregon at 520,000 barrels and Washington at 168,000. In total, the US crop is expected to be 8.17 million barrels.
