Love Local Oysters

World renowned as the Bay Area’s premier oyster producer, Hog Island oysters are sought after by locals and tourists alike. They began oyster farming in 1983 with the goal of raising the best quality, sustainable shellfish in a beautiful location. They started their farm with a five-acre shellfish lease in Tomales Bay, raising the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas), called the Hog Island® Sweetwater. Today, they farm on 160 acres of intertidal lands in Tomales Bay where they raise all five edible oyster varieties found in the Northern Hemisphere.
