Shooting Point Oyster Company

Grown by Tide. Harvested with Care.

Nestled along Virginia’s unspoiled Eastern Shore, Shooting Point Oyster Company produces some of the East Coast’s most sought-after oysters—from the crashing surf of Hog Island to the calm, vineyard-lined waters of Church Creek.

We're not just oyster farmers—we're stewards of tradition, pioneers of precision aquaculture, and champions of sustainability. Every oyster we grow is a reflection of place—salt, seagrass, and the rhythm of the tide, captured in a shell.
