THE NAMING OF CRANBERRY LANE

The world we live in today surrounds us with pollutants, irritants and stressors. All these elements are toxic to our bodies, and cause us damage on a daily basis. We believe that by going back to nature we can bring our lifestyles and our bodies back into balance. Nature provides us with some of the most potent and powerful ways to counteract the stress that today’s environment places on our bodies. Cranberry Lane takes you back to nature, and re-introduces you to the wonders of plants, herbs and all-natural ingredients.

During the summer season many farmers are in the fields, harvesting plants, herbs and fruits. One of the fruits that caught our attention with its dark red colour was the Cranberry. This small berry contains many nutritious substances that are beneficial to the human body. It occurred to us that the Cranberry would be the perfect logo for our company. The Cranberry is representative of all the nutritious ingredients that our products contain, and the many health benefits they will provide you with. And so, Cranberry Lane was named.
