From the same waters that surround Basecamp — meet the 30+ growers we work with up and down the Maine coast.
These farms aren't just suppliers — they're partners. Through the Basin Oyster Project, our 30+ growers, and the community we're building together, we're working to shape the future of Maine aquaculture. Collaboration with everyone, competition with no one.
Discover the distinct coastal quadrants that shape the flavor, texture, and identity of Maine oysters. From the brisk, nutrient-rich currents of the Damariscotta River to the warm, protected inlets of the New Meadows River, each region offers a signature maritime terroir. Taste deep-channel classics like Pemaquid Oysters, vibrant small-batch harvests from Merritt Island, or the clean, briny profiles of Love Point Oysters. Explore the full lineup in our Farmer Regions collection and find your perfect slurp.
We offer oysters and lobster in Portland Maine from our oyster bar along with shipped overnight Maine oysters direct from the Maine oyster farmers themselves. Search the famous Damariscotta River Oyster region or up & coming regions including Casco Bay or oysters from the New Meadows River. Each October the farmers come to town for Maine OysterFest in Portland, and year-round you can book an oyster shucking class, farm tour, or Shuck and Roll on the coast — or a private Maine lobster bake on the wharf in Phippsburg.
