What makes an Island Creek Oyster an Island Creek Oyster? Well, many things, but handling each oyster approximately 15 times over the course of its life is a big part of it. In this process, we make the final decision which oysters are ready to leave the nest, and which need more time…

Most of our growers grew up together as kids in Duxbury.
