Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

        On September 14, 2005, Northland Cranberries, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the "Company"), entered into an Agricultural Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Fifield Cranberries, LLC ("Fifield") pursuant to which the Company sold to Fifield (i) approximately 2,470 acres of real estate located in Price County, Wisconsin known as the Company's Fifield cranberry marsh (the "Marsh"), (ii) certain personal property used in connection with the Company's operation of the Marsh, (iii) all growing crops located on the Marsh, (iv) all of the Company's rights under the multi-peril crop insurance related to the Marsh, and (v) all rights in, to and under any Federal Marketing Order related to the Marsh. The purchase price for the assets sold under the Purchase Agreement was $5.2 million payable in cash by Fifield at the closing. Fifield also agreed to enter into an agreement at the closing of the transaction pursuant to which Fifield would sell to the Company and the Company would purchase from Fifield all of the cranberries produced and harvested at the Marsh during the next five years, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the agreement.

        The representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Purchase Agreement include customary representations and warranties regarding the real and personal property conveyed, and such representations and warranties survive the closing of the transaction and continue until 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of such closing.

        Each party is responsible for paying its own costs and fees related to the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, with the exception of title insurance, which was paid by the Company, and transfer fees payable in connection with the conveyance of the Marsh, which were split equally by the Company and Fifield.

        The Company agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Fifield against any and all liability, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from a breach of any of the Company's representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement. However, Fifield is not entitled to indemnification by the Company unless the aggregate of the Company's indemnification obligations exceed an amount equal to 1.5% of the purchase price, and then only to the extent of such excess. In addition, the Company's indemnification obligations shall in no event be an amount greater than the purchase price.

        If the Company's indemnification obligations exceed 25% of the purchase price, then the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to reacquire the Marsh from Fifield for a price equal to the purchase price paid, less the amount of any indemnification payments previously made by the Company to Fifield.

        The Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and its is incorporated herein by reference. The summary set forth above of the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement that the Company believes are material to the Company is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

        On September 15, 2005, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

4

        E.         Except as set forth on Schedule 7.E., Seller warrants it has not violated any environmental law now in existence with respect to the Property and represents that the Property does not:

        N.         Authority. The party executing this Agreement on behalf of Seller has full right, title, and authority to so execute this Agreement. Any and all documents required to consummate the transactions contemplated herein will be duly authorized and executed on behalf of Seller.

        O.         Mechanic’s Lien. Seller covenants that any work to be done on the Marsh Property prior to closing that could later result in a mechanic’s lien will be paid in full prior to closing.

        Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer against any and all liability, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from a breach of any of the representations and warranties appearing in this Agreement, provided, however, that (i) Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification for breach of a representation or warranty unless the aggregate of the Seller’s indemnification obligations to Buyer under this Agreement exceed an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Purchase Price, but in such event the Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification only to the extent such indemnification obligations exceed an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Purchase Price for all breaches of representations and/or warranties hereunder, (ii) Seller’s indemnification obligation hereunder, and its liability for breach of any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, shall in no event be greater than an amount equal to the Purchase Price, and (iii) in the event Seller’s indemnification obligations to Buyer exceed an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchase Price, Seller shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to reacquire the Property at a purchase price equal to the Purchase Price, less an amount equal to any payments previously made by Seller to Buyer pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, and upon terms and conditions substantially in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which reacquisition by Seller will constitute Buyer’s sole right to receive any payment or other financial accommodation from Seller under such circumstances (collectively, the “Indemnity Limitations”).

6

        All of the representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive the closing of this transaction and continue for a period one year following the date of closing, all such representations and warranties, and Buyer’s right to make claims or to seek indemnification with respect to breaches thereof, expiring at 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of closing.

        Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Seller provides Buyer with so-called “buyers insurance” reasonably acceptable to Buyer that, in the reasonable discretion of Buyer, provides Buyer with protection covering the Seller’s indemnity obligations with respect to breaches of the Seller’s representations and warranties substantially the same as the protection provided to Buyer hereunder, the parties hereto agree to amend this Agreement such that the Buyer shall not be entitled to any indemnification of any kind as a result of the Seller’s breach of its representations and warranties contained herein, and all representations and warranties of the Seller in this Agreement or in any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby shall be deemed to have terminated as of the closing.

        P.        Operate in the Ordinary Course. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to operate, in all material respects, the Marsh Property in the ordinary course of business and substantially in the same manner as previously conducted.
