Bear Creek Artichokes was founded on the Oregon Coast by Cindy & Bill Miles in 1977. Snuggled into the foothills of the Coast Range, our 20 acre farm is bordered by Highway 101 and is located 11 miles south of Tillamook, Oregon.
Bear Creek was originally started as an artichoke farm and has continually evolved over the years. While still raising artichokes, we also offer a fall pumpkin patch, and some fresh picked summer veggies from our gardens. In 1999 we tore down our original fruit stand and built an improved farm market that not only encompasses our fruit stand specializing in all varieties of fresh N.W. produce but was expanded to include a garden room, gift shop, and farm kithcen. We retained our retail greenhouse and display pond, also. You can still take a stroll through our beautiful perrenial display gardens located on the North side of our farm store.
Cindy has developed an incredible selection of jams, jellies, fruit butters, and syrups, as well as dilly beans and pickled asparagus. All of these recipes are made in small batches in our farm kitchen, and the attention to freshness and availability of high quality Oregon produce results in a superior finished product. You are able to sample these fine products in our gift shop, as well as, a wide variety of gourmet foods including salad dressings, mustards, hot sauces & salsa, local honey and dips. Since we are a seasonal business these offerings will change with the season. Feel free to E-MAIL us questions on availability.
