Crunch Berry Craze
Did you know Cedar Rapids is home to the world’s largest cereal plant?
Quaker Oats, located in Downtown Cedar Rapids, produces more than 26.7 million pounds of Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries each year! Some days, as you wander through the city, you can smell it in the air. Locals fondly call it ‘Crunch Berry Day.’
Although you can’t visit the facility in person, the Cedar Rapids community has embraced the tasty treat.
