How They’re Grown: These oysters are grown in floating gear which helps create that full, round cup. These beauties are harvested at 15-20 months from Philip’s 2 acre lease.

How They Taste: We were honestly blown away by these oysters. The meat is dense and delicious. There is a complex root vegetable finish on these oysters after a salty kick.

Why They’re Unique: This area used to be full of oyster farmers back in Colonial times. In the local townhall, there is a map from the 1800’s showing oyster leases lining every inch of shoreline.

Story: Philip’s farm officially started in 2018 and it is a one man show! Philip has always respected the ocean and appreciated her bounty. When he was growing up, his father was a commercial bay scallop fisherman. The real lightbulb went off for Philip at a clam bake when a friend of his opened a cooler to show off his oysters from his lease in Marion. At that point, Philip knew he had to start his own farm. When he isn’t on the water, Philip jams out to the Grateful Dead, gardens and preps for epic clam bakes with friends. Also, #protip: his oyster secret sauce is pickle juice with a dab of sriracha. Just don’t tell him we told you...

Reviews

Impossible to Shuck

"We tried around 20 of these oysters and the 4 that we could open were good but not as hood as previous oysters. The shells are so soft that they fragment when trying to open. Three of them came with holes and had dry putrid oysters. Most you had to bash in the under belly and then spend time getting the shell pieces out. Reading the reviews, this appears to be common with this type of oyster. I threw the bulk of them away."

Delicious

"It was my first time ordering oysters and they arrived on time. They were hard to shuck, but WORTH IT! I ordered 100 and my partner and I ate them for a week. Once you get tired of shucking, throw them in the oven and bake them. We ordered these after having them in a restaurant and they taste just like they did. Would reccomend and definitely ordering again!"
