At Blackstone Point, we grow premium Maine oysters on the Damariscotta River estuary, promising top-quality and traceability from our hands to yours. Farming through fair and foul weather since 2016.
From Great Salt Bay to the fast-flowing channel waters of Hog Island, we work with our environment to cultivate hearty oysters with a signature bright buttery brine.

Our oysters are raised, harvested, and packed by hand. In fact, in Maine’s oyster farming community, we estimate a farmer has touched each oyster over 100 times! So whether you’re enjoying our oysters at a favorite local raw bar or out in the wild for a seaside picnic, trust they’ve been grown with care—from our hands to yours.
How do we do it? Years of improvisation, exploration, and conversation…and proper foul-weather gear!
Each growing site is different and so is each farm. Sea farming requires adaptation to the patterns and traits of our sites. Plus, our dynamic crew brings rich experiences and ideas from many backgrounds. We have crafted our unique approach by learning from our communities and blending diverse techniques…and the recipe is always changing.
Sustainability—environment, community, food system—is at the heart of everything we do. Oyster farming uses zero chemical inputs, feed, or fresh water. An oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water each day and our farms provide habitat for other sea flora and fauna, acting as floating reefs. Farming in public waters encourages strong local networks and engagement. We believe in oyster farming as a vital practice for the future of our coasts, communities, and how we eat. So what now? A leads to B. Like oysters, we are always growing.
