While the nearby town of Langlois gained fame for it’s Cheese Factory, Bandon has also had a series of creamery operations, with milk being transported along the Coquille River from nearby farms. The Coquille Valley Diary Co-Op operated until the early 2000’s. It was replaced by the current Face Rock Creamery in 2013, which has gained nationwide notoriety for its cheeses and cheese curds.
