Wolfe Neck

Wolfe's Neck oysters are grown by The Basket Island Oyster Company that got its start with 10,000 small oyster seeds in 2012.
Mark Green, whom holds a PhD in Oceanography was inspired to start a farm after researching the impact of ocean acidification on small bivalves and then realizing the important role shellfish aquaculture can have on helping clean up the environment and reduce ocean acidification!

Marks dream of becoming a successful oyster farm that produces a high-quality and delicious oyster, provides well paying jobs, with the opportunity for advancement to our employees is being realized with now a 4 person organization including Lane, Emmett and Hillevi! There is a famous saying among oyster farmers that goes “you are not a real oyster farmer until you kill your first million oysters”. By that standard, we are officially ‘real oyster farmers’.
