Local culture: WI + Cranberries

Think Wisconsin is just brats, beer, and cheese? Think again! Recently, the Milwaukee BizTimes published that Wisconsin is expected to be the nation’s top cranberry producing state for the 18th year in a row.

The staff of PEC was both surprised and delighted at this news. Typically, Wisconsin is seen as a large producer of dairy products; most specifically: cheese. Does the term “cheesehead” come to mind? Deep down, the residents of Wisconsin know that there is so much more to this Midwest state than dairy production. We are proud of our rich history, beautiful lakefront, friendly people, and competitive sports team. And most recently? Our cranberry production!
