Sourcing with Purpose
We work hand-in-hand with many of Maine’s 150 independently-owned oyster farms
We focus on purchasing excess oysters—those that are oversized, cosmetically unique, or otherwise unsuitable for raw bars.
By purchasing these oysters that would otherwise go unused, we create new revenue streams for farmers and help them free up valuable farm space for future growth.
