Weskeag Oysters

For a limited time, Glidden Point is featuring Weskeag Oysters, a remarkable variety grown in the nutrient-rich waters of the Weskeag River in South Thomaston, Maine. Cultivated using a combination of floating bag and bottom-planting techniques, these oysters develop hardy shells and a beautifully balanced flavor profile.

Each Weskeag Oyster is nurtured for 2-4 years in a pristine salt marsh estuary, resulting in a firm, petite shell with tones ranging from deep green to light brown. A burst of brine gives way to a sweet, creamy finish—making them an outstanding choice for oyster lovers seeking both depth and refinement in every bite.

Founded in 2001, Weskeag River Oyster Farm is led by Dr. Ralph Hamill, a seasoned aquaculture expert, alongside his longtime friend Karl Reinhold. Their farm is a testament to careful stewardship, producing oysters of unparalleled quality with the help of a dedicated team, including two father-daughter duos.
