Description of Event:
Welcome to the Cranberry Capital For many years, cranberries have been one of the area's top agricultural crops, and Bandon has long been known as the 'Cranberry Capital of Oregon.""' According to the USDA, Oregon is expected to harvest about 500,000 barrels of the hardy, tart red fruit this year, about 8 percent above the 2006 crop, which was 465,000 barrels. That amount was up 14 percent from the 2005 crop of 440,000 barrels (a barrel is 100 pounds of berries). Nationwide, the crop is forecast at 6.90 million barrels. Of that total, Coos and Curry counties produce 4 percent. Each acre of cranberries yields roughly 175 barrels. Bandon is one of four cranberry-producing areas on the West Coast, representing approximately one-third of the total West Coast crop. There are approximately 175 growers in Coos and Curry counties, representing 2,500-plus acres of berries. Ninety-nine percent of the berries harvested in Coos and Curry counties are sent to plants where they are either frozen or processed into juice concentrate to be used for juice products. A small amount, about 3,000 barrels, is sold as fresh fruit. Bandon cranberries are prized for their rich color and tart taste - perfect for making juice. The annual harvest usually starts in mid-September and ends around Thanksgiving.More Information about Bandon Cranberry Festival Bandon, OR
