BOG & BAY

Pacific County is perhaps best known for its oyster and cranberry farms. Learn more about these delicious, local crops below!

Cranberries

Many visitors are surprised to learn that America’s native fruit, the cranberry, is grown locally in great quantities. In fact, approximately one-third of the nation’s cranberry crop is produced in Washington State.

Most of the berries grown on the Peninsula are destined for juice, due to the weather conditions of the area bringing out the valued red color. These berries are harvested in flooded bogs. Watch the harvest, each October at the WSU Cranberry Demonstration Farm.

Oysters

One in every four oysters consumed in the United States comes from Willapa Bay, a pristine estuary that is part of life in Pacific County. Pick up a bag of fresh oysters for your culinary creations. Smoked oysters, like these from Ekone Bay, make terrific gifts to bring back from your Pacific County adventure.

For an unforgettable experience, visit the Goose Point Oystery where you can buy oysters and grill them on their deck overlooking the Willapa.
