We maintain a stockpile of shell at our Hoopers Island location that is used for our own spat on shell production. We also sell shell to other shellfish operations. Our shell is obtained from partners in Maryland, Virginia and Delaware in addition to other sources on the East Coast, Gulf and West Coast. All shell is aged in the sun over years and tested to ensure it’s disease free.

We also sell shell for private bottoms to facilitate natural oyster larvae growth.
