In the Damariscotta River region, Maine’s cold, hearty tides, a unique occurence of natural elements, and a tight knit community of farmers are coming together to make, harvest, and protect the world’s best oysters.

Among Maine’s string of finger
estuaries, the Damariscotta River
stands out. It’s the best spot in Maine
for growing oysters... This river is the
Northeast’s Côte-d’Or, and for an oyster,
it’s heaven on earth.
— Rowan Jacobsen, A Geography of Oysters
