Since 1970
Life on the farm.
Family owned and operated, in continuous operation since 1970. Every jar still starts the same way: Oregon fruit, an original recipe, and a pair of hands.
Where It Started
First, there was the jam shack.
In 1970 we started making homemade jam and jelly and selling it from a little stand on the east side of Highway 101. Travelers pulled over for marionberry, marmalade, gooseberry, and peach, and kept pulling over, year after year.
The newer retail store went up right next to the old roadside stand, five miles south of Old Town Bandon and 100 miles north of the California border. Open all year, every year, since.
“I started buying their jam along side the road in the jam shack in 1989 and come once a year at least.”

What Goes in the Jar
Original recipes. Oregon fruit. Nothing else.
All of our products are made from original recipes. We use no coloring agents, preservatives, corn syrup, or other fillers. Many longtime customers compare our jam and jelly to the kind their family made long ago. Try some and compare with your current favorite.
The wild ones
Our product line features Oregon-grown fruits, both domestic and wild. Best known of the wild fruits is the blackberry, growing wherever there's an open space. Huckleberries are plentiful nearby too: a darker, smaller, stronger-flavored old relative of blueberries. The jam is thick, tart, and a hard-to-find treat, often in short supply.
The cranberry capital
Bandon is the Cranberry Capital of Oregon, and we lean into it. Cranberry jam, cranberry butter, cran-marmalade, cranberry pepper jelly, cranberry mustard, cranberry ketchup, cranberry BBQ, cranberry salsa. If a cranberry can do it, we've probably jarred it.
Grown Here
Our own blueberries, picked fresh.
We grow these dark blue jewels right here on the farm. Prize-winning berries, great to eat fresh from July into September, or cooked into a smooth, sweet jam that captures the flavor of summer. Come by in season and take home a basket.
Fair Warning
It's not just jam in here.
License plates from every state on the rafters. Bigfoot crossing signs. A traffic light, a saw blade, an elk keeping watch over the honey. Half the fun of the stop is looking up. As one visitor put it, a colorful room filled with local fruit products of every kind and some kooky fun items.
Word of Mouth
Five decades of regulars.
“We love Misty Meadows for their incredible jam. The strawberry rhubarb is our favorite and we stock up. A must stop when on the coast.”
