LAKEVILLE-MIDDLEBORO, Mass., Oct. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- What do an 86-year-old farmers' cooperative and the Forbes Under 30 Summit have in common? The future of food, of course! From Oct. 16 – 19, Ocean Spray, an official sponsor of the 2016 Forbes Under 30 Summit, will transform Boston's City Hall Plaza into a cranberry bog for harvesting the freshest ideas from the cream of the crop.

Ocean Spray, an official sponsor of the 2016 Forbes Under 30 Summit, will transform Boston's City Hall Plaza into a cranberry hub for fresh thinking October 16-19, 2016. The cooperative, comprised of 700 family farms, will fuel discussions around science, technology and innovation between summit attendees and multi-generation cranberry growers from inside its cranberry bog display.
Ocean Spray, an official sponsor of the 2016 Forbes Under 30 Summit, will transform Boston's City Hall Plaza into a cranberry hub for fresh thinking October 16-19, 2016. The cooperative, comprised of 700 family farms, will fuel discussions around science, technology and innovation between summit attendees and multi-generation cranberry growers from inside its cranberry bog display.

The Cooperative, owned by 700 family farms, will fuel discussions around science, technology and innovation between summit attendees and its multi-generation cranberry growers from inside its 720 square foot cranberry bog display. Filled with a half-ton of fresh cranberries, it's the first time the cooperative is bringing its iconic bog display to Boston.

"The Forbes Under 30 Summit provides us with a wonderful opportunity for Ocean Spray to engage with some of the finest innovative minds in business, politics, and social entrepreneurship" said Randy Papadellis, president and chief executive officer at Ocean Spray. "We are looking forward to hearing what they have to say about the future of agriculture, food and farming."

The Ocean Spray Cooperative has spent nearly nine decades growing the cranberry industry into a multibillion-dollar global business that enables family farms to thrive by working together to sell fruit to more than 100 countries around the world. The cooperative's global headquarters are located outside of Boston, where the summit is scheduled to be held.

#FreshThinking Booth
In addition to speaking with growers and fresh thinkers from within the cooperative, Ocean Spray is encouraging attendees to stop by its #FreshThinking booth Sunday, Oct. 16 from 12 p.m. – 4 p.m. Attendees who share their ideas around the future of food, farming, agriculture and innovation can watch them come to life with the help from an on-site illustrator! Toby Cecchini, the creator of the original Cosmopolitan cocktail, will also be at the summit to share how cranberries inspired his creativity. The cooperative will curate top ideas at www.oceansprayfreshthinking.com and invite consumers to vote for their favorite. The attendee who submits the winning idea will have the opportunity to present it to Ocean Spray's executive leadership team.  

In addition to curating ideas from the summit, attendees are invited to visit the bog display, Tuesday, Oct. 18 from 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. to learn more about career opportunities at Ocean Spray and to hear more about the agricultural industry from the perspective of the cooperative's grower-owners.

"At Ocean Spray, we are all cranberry growers charged with growing the market for our fruit," added Papadellis. "And we're looking for our next generation of growers – people who can bring fresh energy and ideas to the cooperative in a variety of fields from research and development to supply chain management to marketing and finance. We celebrate diversity of skills and talent and are looking forward to this momentous event."
