Welcome to Johns River Oyster

Dave Cheney and crew have been growing outstanding oysters for 15 years. They're unique, with a briny start, sweet creamy middle and finish with no aftertaste. Our seed is started in Great Salt Bay, Damariscotta, ME and relayed by boat to our Johns River Farm in South Bristol. This is where our taste profile is born.

The Blackstone Nursery

Our Blackstone Nursery in Great Salt Bay, Damariscotta, ME where the oysters are started at 2mm each June. Water temperature and flow are key ingredients to ensure food and proper growth of any sized oyster.

The Johns River Farm

Our Farm in The Johns River where our baby oysters are finished and acquire their unique taste. We grow our oysters in cages during the summer and dive harvest all winter long.

A kiss of brine at the start followed by a sweet creamy middle and finish with no after taste.

No Orders after 12/22 please. The crew is taking some time to be with their families. We will resume harvesting on January 3. Thank you and Happy Holidays!
