Floating oyster cages in the Rowley River on a sunny day, Great Marsh, Massachusetts

Eastern oysters from the Great Marsh

We’re a small, family-owned farm in Rowley, Massachusetts. We hand-raise Eastern oysters in floating cages in the Rowley River, where the salt marsh gives them a balanced brine and a clean, sweet finish.

Home of the Mermaids Morsel.

Beautiful oysters… Mermaids, for sure! Such a graceful shell with its gentle curve. And delicious: balanced salinity, mild minerality with a whisper-smooth finish.
