45,000 Pounds of Wisconsin Aronia: Craig’s 2026 Harvest

One season. Deeply purple Wisconsin fruit. And a whole lot to be grateful for.

Harvest is complete, and what a season it has been. In 2026, our founding farmer, Craig, brought in an incredible 45,000 pounds of aronia berries.

That number deserves a moment. Behind every pound is a year of growing, tending the land, and bringing fruit in from the fields near Viroqua, Wisconsin. For us, this harvest is more than a total on a scale. It is a chance to celebrate the person who helped start it all, the place we call home, and the people who make room for our berries at their tables.

A big harvest, rooted in Craig’s work

Craig has been part of Viroqua Aronia from the beginning. As our founding farmer, his leadership is woven into our story, and we are grateful for the care and work that brought this season’s crop from the field to harvest.

Harvest is the moment a year of tending becomes something you can see, weigh, and share. This year, that something was 45,000 pounds of deeply purple Wisconsin aronia berries. We are proud of Craig, and excited for what comes next.

Bringing the berries in is a milestone, but it is not the end of their story. As we shared in our harvest email, we are looking forward to turning this season’s fruit into aronia juice, culinary powder, and more.

It is a connection we never want to lose sight of: the berries begin here, in our fields, before becoming part of your kitchen. Whether aronia already has a place in your daily routine or you are discovering it for the first time, we love sharing where it comes from.

45,000 pounds. One heartfelt thank-you.

To Craig: thank you for your leadership from the very beginning, and for bringing in this remarkable 2026 harvest.

And to everyone who follows our farm updates, shares our story, or chooses Viroqua Aronia: thank you for being part of what comes after harvest. Your table is where the next chapter begins.
