The business, originally established in Newport, Oregon in 1892 by Frank Emerson who walked the beach selling his handmade taffy to early beach goers, continues as the same going concern today.

The vendors we work with have made a commitment to sustainable and high quality practices, supporting small family farms, and do not condone the use of slavery or child labor in all aspects of harvesting.
