About The Farm: Pocomo Meadow Oyster Farm is located on the south side of Pocomo Point, near the mouth of Polpis Harbor. The tide rushes twice a day through a narrow channel connecting to Nantucket's main harbor. Right behind the farm is an area of undeveloped salt swamp fed by two tidal creeks that flow out directly into where the oysters grow. Oysters are filter feeders, and they thrive on the nutrients from fresh water springs bubbling out from Meadouie Creek. In this unique body of water the oysters flourish, giving them a heavenly brine and a sweetness that is unmatched by any other local oyster.
Each oyster starts out about the size of a corn kernel and spends its first year in a floating bag. Once they've reached 2-3 inches long, we set them loose on the seafloor to mature and get that beautiful Pocomo Meadow flavor for three months as "free range oysters," where they happily grow fat and full to their shell. Then we hand rake up all of our oysters, cull out the market size and choice looking oysters. These are then transferred back into floating bags to let them finish for another 2 weeks before we harvest them and deliver to your favorite local restaurants!
