Cannon Beach, Oregon’s Public Coast Brewing has opened the Public Coast Farmstand in Banks, OR for the 2026 summer season.

Kicking off on July 6, the farm will be open on weekdays and weekends through August 30, featuring u-pick blueberries, jam and honey on weekdays, a limited farmstand on Thursdays and Fridays, a full farmstand on the weekends, a live music series, and a marquee event on July 25: Blueberry Jams at Public Coast Farm, presented by Public Coast Brewing Co. The all-day, family-friendly farm celebration will honor the brewery’s 10th anniversary.
Public Coast Farm by Public Coast Brewing
Public Coast Farm is a 40-acre culinary farm nestled at the base of the Coastal Range along the iconic Sunset Highway, Oregon Hwy. 26 and 30 minutes from downtown Portland. 15 of the 40 acres of property are full of blueberry bushes, fruit orchards, beehives and hops, the farm is a culinary playground that celebrates alchemy: the transformation of simple, beautiful, locally produced ingredients into culinary magic.
The farm will be open on the weekends from July 11-12 through August 29-30 from 12 p.m. - 4 p.m. with live music from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. On weekends, the farm will feature u-pick blueberries, pre-picked blueberry flats, honey, blueberry jam, cold Public Coast Brewing Co. beer and sodas on tap, and fresh local vegetables, including produce from other local farms. Also on weekends, the farmstand will feature snacks and small bites.
Public Coast Farm will offer live music on select Saturdays this summer: July 11, July 18 and August 1 from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. Then, the season’s centerpiece, Blueberry Jams at Public Coast Farm, presented by Public Coast Brewing Co., will take place on Saturday, July 25, 12 p.m. - 7 p.m. (doors open 11 a.m.). The all-day farm celebration will feature live acoustic reggae performances by Dan Kelly of Fortunate Youth, Jubba White, Aaron Nigel Smith, and King Thayo, as well as u-pick blueberries, the full farmstand, food items available for purchase, Public Coast Brewing Co. beers and sodas on tap, picnic tables and lawn games.
Blueberries have been a signature ingredient for Public Coast Brewing ever since they established the farm, the fresh berries are featured in everything from their recent Blueberry Stout, and housemade Jam preserves, to a Blueberry Seltzer. This summer, 100% of proceeds from u-pick blueberry sales will be donated to North Coast Land Conservancy, a nonprofit land trust dedicated to safeguarding Oregon’s northern coastal lands and seascapes.
But that’s not all they feature at the farm. Currently for the season you can purchase multiple varieties of Heirloom tomatoes, basil, microgreens, peppers, honey, jam, and of course their own cold beer by the can which you can enjoy while perusing the grounds and picking fresh berries.
Some of the other Public Coast Farm specialties include Honeycrisp, Ambrosia, and Early Fuji apples. Sun crest, Canadian harmony, and Redhaven peaches. They also produce small-batch, single-origin honey by the jar, from 40 custom hives on the north side of the farm.
Find other locally made and seasonal products at the farm from Ranger Chocolate Co., Sugarpine Blueberry Lavender Sauce, Smith Tea, cherries from Foglight Farms, flowers from Pumpkin Ridge Gardens, Smith Tea, Jacobsen Sea Salt, Durant Olive Oil, and more!
“Summer at the farm has always been about bringing people together around the best of what this land has to offer, and this year we’re turning it up a notch to celebrate Public Coast Brewing Co.’s 10th anniversary,” said Ryan Snyder, owner of Public Coast Farm. “From our u-pick blueberries and weekly farmstands to live music weekends and our biggest farm celebration yet, there’s never been a better summer to drive out to Banks and spend time at our beautiful farm. And knowing every dollar from the u-pick blueberries goes directly to protecting Oregon’s coastal lands makes our summer season all the more meaningful.”
Public Coast Farm is located along Dairy Creek at 22330 NW Fisher Road in Banks, Oregon, adjacent to the Banks-Vernonia State Trail and part of the North Coast Food Trail, making it the perfect stop whether headed to the coast or simply looking for local summer produce.
