A passion for the ocean, a love of Maine & an intense desire to create, build & share. This is what the Maine Oyster Company stands for. Our vision it to build an all inclusive oyster/aquaculture community including farmers, slurpers, institution and industry. Our mission is to sell, slurp, shuck and share Maine Oysters. Equally a community as much as a company we have created this farm share to help build our business, but also to help support all the farms whom have lost their distribution channels. The more you buy the more we buy direct from the farms, most of them boutique, under 100,000 oysters/year in production, at very sustainable prices. Lets get Slurping!

Be believe working together in collaboration and cooperation is the fastest (and most fun way for us all to  achieve our individual successes.   Our hope is to build an all inclusive oyster & aquaculture community that connects, farmers, oyster lovers, the state of Maine & our collective industry together under one bivalve awesome roof. We are committed to a business model of putting more rather than less in the pockets of the individual farmers. by buying directly from the individual farms
