Jorstad Creek Oyster Company

The Crew

It takes a hard working, fun loving team to make the company function. We have fun trying. But there have been many hard learned lessons in the 7 years we have been farming. Every year has its new challenges.

The Farm

We raise Pacific Oysters and Manila clams on a 9 acre tideflat on the shores of the deep watered Hood Canal in Lilliwaup, WA. Jorstad Creek flows into our saltwater bay with Olympic Mountain derived nutrients and the water profile creates our crisp, clean briny Hood Canal oysters.

The Hatchery

At our small shellfish hatchery in North Hood Canal we spawn adult shellfish and raise their larvae into juvenile oysters and clams that we use to seed our beach.
