Brookings, Oregon, is dubbed the banana belt of the Oregon Coast due to unseaonably warm winter for the Oregon Coast.

Located on the beautiful Southern Oregon Coast just 6 miles north of the California boarder on US Hwy 101, the town thrived on the lumber, commercial and sports fishing industries.

Lily bulb farming was introduced in the 1920's. Although dwindling, lumber and fishing are still strong factors in the city’s economy, and the lily bulb farms, in a twelve mile area between Brookings and the town of Smith River California, produce 100% of the lily bulbs grown in North America.
