Keep On Shuckin'

Keep on Shuckin' means that you stay true and committed to the values and the work.

The humble oyster holds a universe of flavors, secrets, and untold stories.

We see ourselves as farmers of the sea, curating an experience for those who enjoy oysters, which are more than just a delicacy; they're a testament to diversity, sustainability, and resilience.

our Stewardship

A century ago, our family inherited our farm, igniting our dedication to stewardship. Drawing inspiration from the sustainable practices of the Miwok Indians who once cared for our original farm land, we’ve embraced a commitment to conservation.

Now, as we expand our farm into cold Baja Ocean waters, our pledge to stewardship extends beyond our land to the communities we serve. With expertise and care, we tend to both land and sea ecosystems, ensuring a harmonious balance for generations to come.

Our Focus Is On Sustainability

Our FDA/COFEPRIS-certified distribution facility ensures that every oyster meets stringent hygiene standards. Each oyster undergoes rigorous inspection to guarantee top-notch quality.

Repairing Ecosystems

We were part of a restoration effort by providing millions of shells to support the rehabilitation of the native Olympia oyster populations in the San Francisco Bay.

Global Practices

We were early implementers of the Japanese technique of oyster farming and used this technique to build a strong farm.

Stewards of the Sea

Oysters are an amazing food source. Oysters require no feed, no fertilizers, and no chemicals. We are proud to be stewards of the Baja Ocean Waters.

The Ecosystem

Oysters are incredible creatures and improve the water quality they inhabit by filtering sediment and excess nutrients. They keep their ecosystem clean.
