Why? We’re not a marketplace. We are the source.

Glidden Point is an oyster farm on the Damariscotta River. We grow our own oysters and work directly with a small number of Maine farms we trust. No middlemen. No mystery sourcing.

We hand-select every oyster.

Size, shell quality, and condition matter. If an oyster doesn’t meet our standards that week, it doesn’t ship.

We ship for freshness, not speed.

Orders ship once a week, packed cold and insulated, so oysters arrive alive, cold, and ready to enjoy.

We’re built for shipping oysters.

Our packaging, weights, and shipping rules are designed specifically for live shellfish, so there are fewer surprises at delivery.

We know these oysters because we grow them.

Seasonality matters. Water matters. We’re honest about what’s best to eat when, because we’re on the river every day.

We stand behind every order.

If something isn’t right, we fix it. No runaround.

Bottom line:

If you’re buying oysters online, you should know exactly where they came from and how they were handled. That’s the difference here.

Thank you for experiencing oysters the Glidden way!
