Up the New Meadows River we go! This hot new oyster mecca, home to 10+ boutique oyster farms, is situated on the Easternmost side of Casco Bay. The main waterway is peppered with hundreds of small islands, inlets, coves and harbors, creating a vastly diverse ecological region. There is, however, one combining ecological factor: the twice-a-day tidal cycle. Indeed, New Meadows oysters are enriched by the clashing sharp, fasting moving waters of the open ocean, and the nutrient rich tidal waters, warmed by the sun-baked mudflats. Annual productions from each farm range from as little as 20,000 to around 100,000 making them almost impossible to find outside the great state of Maine!
