Did you know Bandon is at the heart of Oregon's cranberry industry?

The Bandon area and surrounding South Coast communities produce approximately 90% of Oregon's cranberries!
And...
Oregon contributes roughly 7% of the nation's cranberry crop, making our little corner of the coast an important part of this American agricultural tradition.

Every fall, local growers bring in the harvest using a fascinating process: bogs are flooded, the berries are loosened from the vines, and the ripe red cranberries float to the surface, ready to be gathered!

The next time you think of Bandon, remember—we're not just a beautiful place to visit. We're also a community with a rich agricultural heritage!

Have you ever witnessed a cranberry harvest?
