Oregon is well known for its blueberry industry, in which it consistently produces delicious and sweet berries.

Oregon is, after all, one of the top blueberry producers in the United States, although blueberry farms across the state vary greatly in size and production.

In 2016, Oregon produced 116.1 million pounds worth of blueberries.

The word cobbler was coined in 1859 due to the topping having the visual appearance of a "cobbled" stone pathway.
