The lily bulb farms, which are in a 12-mile area between Brookings and Smith River, California, produce 100% of the lily bulbs grown in North America. Because of these stable industries, Brookings is less dependent on the tourist trade than many Oregon coast cities.Add to the mix good food,interesting shops, friendly people & a mild year-round climate & it's easy to understand why so many of our visitors choose to become full-time residents of Oregon's southernmost coastal city.
