We grow our signature Parrot Island Oysters™ in the shadow of Parrot Island near the mouth of Virginia’s Rappahannock River, one of the Chesapeake Bay’s main tributaries. The oysters’ mildly salty, slightly sweet taste make them paradise found on the half shell or the perfect complement to any entree. Salinity ranges from 12-18 ppt. Our oysters are native Crassostrea virginica oysters.
