About Springbrook Farm:

An organic family-run cranberry farm, Springbrook Cranberry Inc. in N.S., is just as precious as the berries they produce. It’s a rare occurrence that an entire family decides to delve into farming for a livelihood, let alone one that decides to grow something as challenging and wonderful as certified organic cranberries.

 

We also have Fresh Cranberries, which will be of interest to anyone thinking of preparing a Holiday Turkey.

 

Here's a simple Cranberry Vinaigrette recipe from Springbrook Farm:

 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup raw cranberries
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbsp fresh herbs - at this time Parsley - minced

Preparation:

Process 1/2 cup of raw cranberries with 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar until smooth. Whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil and 2 tablespoons minced fresh herbs such as parsley, oregano, chives or thyme.
