Oysterville Farm Store - Keeping the "Oyster" in Oysterville

Discover the Wonders of Oysterville Sea Farms

A Legacy of Sustainability and History

Nestled on the shores of Willapa Bay, Oysterville Sea Farms is more than just a seafood market—it’s a living tribute to the rich oyster farming heritage of the region. Originally founded to support the restoration and preservation of the last oyster cannery in Oysterville, the farm continues to uphold its mission by developing sustainable aquaculture practices while keeping the "Oyster" in Oysterville.

Privately Owned Tidelands and Sustainable Farming

Unlike much of the West Coast, Washington State allows for the private ownership of tidelands, a policy that has fostered environmentally responsible aquaculture. As stewards of over 200 acres of tideland, Oysterville Sea Farms remains committed to ecologically beneficial harvesting practices that maintain the health of Willapa Bay’s pristine waters.

A Nationally Recognized Historic Site

Due to Oysterville’s influence on West Coast aquaculture, the Oysterville Sea Farms cannery was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. This distinction was a key factor in Oysterville being designated a National Historic District, preserving its legacy for future generations.
