Ward Oyster Company

Ward Oyster Company Ward Oyster Co.

is one of the largest aquaculture oyster farms in the Commonwealth of Virginia, distributing it's oysters all over the United States, as well as retail and online sales. Due to Ward Oyster Co.'s unique location on a large sandbar in the mouth of the Ware River, it's oysters have a distinctive and exquisite taste taken from it's surroundings. On incoming tides, the waters of the Mobjack Bay are acc

elerated and forced to run over the area where our cages are, creating excellent growing conditions with the pristine waters of the Mobjack Bay as their primary food source. The year round salinity of the Mobjack Bay averages 15 to 23 parts per thousand, which gives the oysters a sweet and salty taste without being overpowering.
