We are upgrading our farm site in Marshall!

On October 14th, Hog Island Oyster Co. broke ground on a major facilities upgrade at our farm in Marshall, CA. Though it’s a little crazy around here these days we are open for business during the construction and our fall/winter crop of oysters are some of our best yet.

We appreciate your business and your patience as we improve the farm and improve our ability to grow and serve you more of the oysters you love!

Greeting Friends!  At the Hog Island Oyster Co. Farm in Marshall, we will be upgrading our Farm facilities beginning Oct. 14 and continuing through the beginning of the year.  During construction the Farm will remain open for business, 9-5 daily, and we look forward to your visit!
