Public Coast Farm to Host First-Ever Blueberry Jams Celebration

What: Public Coast Farm is hosting Blueberry Jams, a one-day U-Pick blueberry, beer, and music celebration presented by Public Coast Brewing Co. in honor of the brewery's 10th anniversary. Guests are invited to spend a sun-soaked summer afternoon in Banks, Oregon, picking fresh blueberries, sipping Public Coast Brewing Co. craft beer and non-alcoholic beverages, and enjoying live world-class reggae music in a scenic farm setting. This summer, 100% of proceeds from U-Pick blueberry sales will benefit North Coast Land Conservancy, a nonprofit land trust dedicated to protecting Oregon's northern coastal lands and seascapes.

Each ticket includes one pint of blueberries, with guests free to explore the farm and pick from up to eight varieties of farm-grown blueberries. Local food vendors will also be on-site with food available for purchase. The live music lineup features four acclaimed reggae artists: Dan Kelly of Fortunate Youth, Jubba White, Aaron Nigel Smith, and King Thayo.

About Public Coast Farm

Oregon’s historic Route 26, known to Portlanders as the Sunset Highway, has welcomed generations of families traveling to and from the coast on its forested byway. Now Public Coast Farm sits on that very route, straddling West Dairy Creek at the base of the Coastal Range, on a 40-acre site lush with blueberry bushes, beehives, fruit orchards, and hops. The farm is fertile ground for the farm’s sister properties - the Stephanie Inn and Public Coast Brewing Co. - each of which incorporates Public Coast Farm’s fresh ingredients into delicious dishes and seasonal beers.
