Farmer: John and Stephanie Reeve

Mill Creeks are perfectly balanced in flavor with both sweetness and saltiness playing together like yin and yang. The surprise is on the finish where we taste wet gravel (in the best possible way!) and an unusual stony minerality that has us coming back for more.

About Mill Creek Oysters

Harvest location: Yarmouthport, MA; CCB-26

How they’re grown: These oysters grow in a sandy location and they spend their lifetime in low lying cages that are nestled into the bottom. The Reeves have 3 acres of property and with a 3 person team, they always have a ton of work to do! The oysters take 15-18 months to reach market size.

Why they’re unique: Let’s talk geology! The Reeves have a secret that we believe attributes to their oysters’ flavor. Kettle ponds were formed millions of years ago from receding glaciers all along Cape Cod. The fresh water from these ponds is packed full of minerals and the Reeves are lucky enough to have one of these ponds flow directly into their lease. Minerality as a flavor is not always the easiest to understand so go lick a stone to see what we mean.

Story: We love a good ‘aha moment’ where previous careers are tossed away in favor of the back-breaking labor of oyster farming. John’s lifelong work was in maritime transportation and logistics so he has always been tied to the ocean and has traveled much of the world. Stephanie could have never guessed in a million years that this is what they would be doing together, but they love their lives on the water and we are damn lucky to get our hands on their oysters!

Oyster FAQ

How long do my oysters keep?

Your oysters keep in the refrigerator for 5-7 days!  You can order a day or two early to make sure you have them in time for your gathering.  They are totally fine hangin’ out in the cool air.  

How do I store these bad boys?

When you receive your package, pull them out of the box (these guys need a little fresh air!). Grab a mixing bowl and throw the mesh bag in the bowl so that the oysters don’t leak all over your refrigerator. Grab a damp cloth and throw the cloth over the bowl.  You are good to go for the next 5-7 days. Doesn’t hurt to dampen the cloth each day to keep them moist and chilled.

Should I keep them on ice?

Only put the oysters on ice before service.  The oysters will actually die in the melted fresh water so do not store the oysters on ice.  They will not like this.

How are they shipped?

We ship using FedEx Overnight service. You will receive tracking info after the label has been printed the day before your oysters are set to arrive.  We do not require a signature – Fedex will leave your package at your doorstep.

Is your packaging recyclable?

Short answer: YES!

Our ClimaCell thermal liners are made of 90% FSC certified virgin kraft paper and corn starch, which allows you to recycle the insulated liner at home along with the cardboard box.⁠
⁠

Mill Creek Oysters in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia

"Our guests loved them, we did too.. We ate some of them raw and BBQ''d some using the Hog Island recipe. Our guests, well acquainted with oysters from a wide variety of locations, were quite thrilled and impressed with the flavor, the brine and everything about the Mill Creeks!. What could be better than champagne and Mill Creek Oysters!"

Beautiful Oysters

"These oysters are a sight to behold! A distinctive black line down the shell make them a stunner and their flavor is equally on point. Clean taste, high salinity with a sweet finish, perfect with a squeeze of lemon. Bravo Mill Creek Oyster Company!"

— Carolyn R. (5/5)

PERFECT!

"Thank you to Island Creek for calling to ask what was more important, the Mill Creeks or the delivery date we originally selected. Our 50 arrived in Seattle this weekend and quickly disappeared as part of an impromptu celebration. They were perfectly sized, well balanced, and so fresh. Can't wait for more! Thanks to John and Steph and Island Creek Oysters for making Mill Creek oysters available nationwide."

— Cindy C. (5/5)

Best Oysters! - Great Delivery!

"100 amazing Oysters we�re enjoyed by me and close by neighbors of ours. �These are even better than Wellfleet Oysters!� �So clean tasting I didn�t put any sauce on them- yum!� �You can�t just eat one, they�re addictive- glad we had 2 dozen!� And Al who is not an oyster lover is now wanting to try them next time. Thanks John and Steph!"

— Susan S. (5/5)

10/10 Recommend!

"We ordered these oysters to enjoy with some friends during a dinner party this week in Denver, Colorado. As you can imagine, it can be quite a challenge to get fresh seafood in the center of the continent. However, we were blown away by the ease of ordering, quick delivery and the delicious, fresh, mineral taste of the oysters! John and Stephanie Reeve with Mill Creek Oysters have done a marvelous job and we fully intend to order from them again in the future!"

— Alison G. (5/5)
