Fox Point Oysters

Meet owner Laura Brown

A little background: Fox Point Oysters was established in 2012. … Baby oysters are purchased from a hatcher and placed in bags and cages on the farm site. Oysters eat what nature provides, filtering nutrients from the passing water. As they grow, they are continually tumbled, cleaned and sorted for size. After 24 to 36 months they reach a mature size, ready for shucking.

Why customers should try your products: Fox Point Oysters takes pride in raising healthy, well cared for oysters that are a sustainable part of the ecosystem. Oysters are routinely sorted and cleaned. Each is hand selected for size and quality and gently scrubbed before delivery. The farm is owner-operated and follows strict state and federal guidelines to keep the oysters cold and fresh from harvest through delivery. The waters in Little Bay are continuously monitored and daily approval is needed before harvesting. You can be sure you are getting healthy, delicious oysters raised with kindness and care.

Where to find them: The farm is located off Cedar Point in New Hampshire’s Little Bay. Fox Point Oysters are sold at wholesale, retail and restaurant locations or purchased directly via “off the boat” oyster sales at the Scammell Bridge parking lot in Durham at select times and days throughout the growing season. Starting May 8, those hours will be Thursdays from 3 to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. You can pre-order through the website or stop by. Delivery and shipping options are available. Farm tours are available as well as shucking services for private and public events.
