About:
For three generations, Johnston's Cranberry Marsh has been growing cranberries in Muskoka. They believe great fruit starts with caring about the environment that supports it. Farming responsibly ensures the health of our community, family and customer – and it makes for better tasting berries!
Johnston's Cranberry Marsh is Local Food Plus certified for theirr sustainable growing practices. They grow 27 acres of cranberries on a 350 acre farm. Cranberry growing preserves wetlands and, because wetlands are sensitive, the rule of thumb is to develop no more than 10% of acreage. Most of their farm is natural wetlands, buffer zones, reservoirs and woodlands and their trail system allows visitors to explore some of these areas.
