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.
