Pickup in Greenville, NC Pickup in Hyde County, NCWe are a family-owned and operated oyster farm located in the Pamlico Sound of North Carolina, where calm waters, steady tides, and rich nutrients create the ideal environment for exceptional oysters.
What began as a passion for the water has grown into a full-time commitment to raising premium oysters the right way—by hand, with care, and with respect for the ecosystem that sustains us.
