FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DO WE GROW OUR OYSTERS?

Our oysters are farm-raised in the open waters of eastern North Carolina, where they feed on the natural plankton and algae already in the water. Nothing is added. We use a floating bag system: mesh bags hold the oysters just below the surface, in the part of the water column with the richest natural food supply. The result is a clean, deep-cupped, meaty oyster.

DO YOU OFFER LOCAL PICKUP?

Yes! Order any of our Local Pickup oysters and pick them up at our Beaufort or Sneads Ferry location. Please allow 24 hours for processing. You will receive an email when your order is ready.

CAN I EAT OYSTERS IN MONTHS WITHOUT AN R?

You may have heard of the "R-Rule": only eat oysters in months with the letter R, September through April. The rule dates back to before modern refrigeration, when warm summer months made raw shellfish riskier to store and ship. Today, oysters are harvested and kept cold under strict state and federal shellfish safety rules, so they can be enjoyed safely in any month. Summer oysters may taste a little different, since warm water is when oysters spawn.

WHERE ARE OUR OYSTERS GROWN?

Our oysters are raised in the waters of the Bay River, Jarrett Bay, and Adams Creek. This makes the oysters very meaty and gives them a fresh, salty and ocean taste.
