Fort Langley was exporting cranberries internationally long before Vancouver was even built. Cranberries don’t come from a can! At Fort Langley, First Nations people brought canoe loads of cranberries to trade. These were then shipped to San Francisco to be sold to gold prospectors – a vital source of vitamin C long before oranges were widely cultivated in California.
Bring the family and celebrate our proud berry history by enjoying the cranberry harvest at the 13th annual Cranberry Festival.
