Our oyster farm
Since 2020, our commitment to providing the best oysters for our customers hasn't wavered. We're proud to serve oysters that we grow ourselves at our farm in Brunswick, Maine.
Why Maine?
We have family in Maine. It's where we were first inspired to start this business. The state's cold waters produce some of our favorite oysters.
With every trip back to meet oyster farmers, an idea began to form: could we start our own oyster farm?
In 2024, we harvested our first oysters. The farm, Lone Pine Ranch, sits in the New Meadows River, just outside of Brunswick, in an area referred to as the Napa Valley of oysters.
Having our own farm allows us to have a stronger connection to the oyster farming community and to bring a truly special product to our customers in Texas.
No grit, no pearl
Oysters can grow natively, but nowadays, they often have human help. When baby oysters or “seed” are mature enough, they’re “planted” in the ocean using different farming methods.
Our oysters, Lone Pine Pearls, are grown in the cold, clean inter-tidal waters of the New Meadows. They filter water (up to 50 gallons a day!) and eat plankton and algae for 18-24 months before harvested. Our farm manager, Sam, keeps a close eye on things for us.
Like a wine reflects where its grapes were grown, an oyster tastes like the water it was grown in. Lone Pine Pearls taste very briny up front, with a vegetal finish. If you haven't made it to Maine yet, you'll be able to try a little piece of it through our oysters.

Oysters you can’t get anywhere else
We harvest our oysters throughout the late fall and spring months. When available, our Lone Pine Pearls are served exclusively to Austin Oyster Co customers who dine at our oyster bar or at a catered event.
