RETAIL STORE FAQ
How best should I transport my oysters when picking up/ordering for take-out?
We provide ice if needed. For trips over an hour, we recommend bringing a cooler or insulated bag.
Where do I pick-up an order I placed online?
From the window at the storefront
How does dine-in work?
Our outdoor patio seats a few hundred people. Orders are both taken and picked up at the windows on the storefront. Oysters are priced per oyster, allowing you to order as many or as little oysters as you’d like. All our oysters are raw, and you shuck them yourself. Knives and gloves are provided. There is a dishwashing/handwashing station to clean up and clear your table.
Can I bring my own alcohol?
No. We have our beer and wine license. Since we have a license, we can no longer allow outside alcohol to be brought on the property.
Are you doing farm tours this year?
We will now be offering daily farm tours From May - October.
First and foremost, your oysters are outstanding and one of our favorites! Secondly, I’d love to wear one of your t-shirts. When will I be able to find some medium or large t-shirts in stock? Thanks a bunch!!
Is it possible to get the recipe for your mignonette? It was 1 of 2 that you offered at your last festival …the one with mint and other herbs. It was perfect!
Being for Louisiana, I’ve fished and eaten oysters all my life. In 2017 we took a lobster vacation and to Boothsbay Harbour and had a free day in our plans. We drove to Damariscotta and discovered Glidden Point Oyster Farm. We enduleged in the best oyster I’ve ever eaten. In 2022 Hurricane Ida desemated the oyster industry in our area. I looked up Glidden Point oysters and saw that they ship oysters overnight. I ordered the SAMPLAH package. From the ordering, shipping, delivery, quality and flavor, the whole
experience was excellent. I will certainly do this again and again. I’ve recommended Glidden Point Oyster Farms to all my friends and family. Thanks Glidden Point Farms!
