Sustainably havested oysters and artisan coastal foods from the Willapa Bay
Willapa Wild specializes in sustainably harvested oysters from the nutrient-rich waters of Willapa Bay—one of the cleanest, most protected estuaries in the United States. Our oysters are hand-farmed without dredging or chemicals, allowing them to grow naturally in a thriving coastal ecosystem. The result is a premium Pacific Northwest oyster with a clean, briny flavor and sweet finish that reflects the purity of its origin.
We’re proud to share the shoreline with Oysterville Sea Farms, a historic working oyster farm and seafood destination located in the village of Oysterville. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it offers visitors a taste of local heritage with fresh oysters, coastal provisions, and unbeatable bay views.
In addition to oysters, Willapa Wild crafts small-batch artisan coastal foods—from wild-caught shellfish to smoked delicacies—each rooted in ocean-friendly practices. Every purchase supports sustainable aquaculture, local food traditions, and the preservation of Willapa Bay’s natural bounty.

Sustainable, Fresh Oysters from Willapa Bay
Welcome to Willapa Wild, where pristine water, nature-led farming, and a deep respect for the bay shape every oyster we raise. On Washington’s coast, Willapa Bay is among the cleanest estuaries in the United States — an ideal place for oysters to thrive in balance with eelgrass, fish, and birdlife.
Our oysters are hand-harvested daily and shipped fresh to bring the pure taste of the Pacific Northwest straight to your table.
Why Willapa Bay Oysters Are Different
The Cleanest Bay in America
Our home waters are protected from industrial runoff and supported by vast tidal grasslands. Willapa Bay’s clean water and sediments let oysters express a distinct Pacific Northwest character.
Nature-Led, Regenerative Farming
We don’t fight eelgrass — we foster it. Restored eelgrass beds help stabilize sediments, reduce pests naturally, and have supported the return of native Olympia oysters. It’s proof that restoration and production can coexist.
Flavor You Can Taste
Willapa Wild oysters deliver a medium brine with clean minerality and a subtle herbaceous finish — a signature terroir of Willapa Bay.
From Farm to Table — Sustainably
- Each oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water per day, improving clarity and quality.
- Restored eelgrass meadows create nurseries for wild fish and shrimp.
- No dredging. No chemicals. No shortcuts — just stewardship and science.
