Behan Family Farms, operating under the banner of Ninigret Nectars, is rooted in the coastal town of Charlestown, Rhode Island. Since 2010, the farm has carved a name for itself in southern New England and beyond for its fresh, sustainably harvested oysters. Drawing from the pristine waters of Ninigret Salt Pond, the farm captures the essence of its marine surroundings in every shell, celebrating a heritage of ocean stewardship and culinary excellence.
At the heart of Behan Family Farms is a deep respect for nature and a commitment to sustainable aquaculture. Every oyster and clam is cultivated with care, ensuring that the bounty of the sea is preserved for future generations. The farm doesn't just provide seafood—it curates an experience, offering a raw bar that includes local little neck clams, jumbo shrimp cocktail, and their signature jalapeño mignonette, inviting the community to savor the flavors of the tide.
Beyond the salt pond, Behan Family Farms connects with its community through participation in some of the region's most beloved seafood festivals and events. From Newport to Providence, they bring the raw bar directly to the people, complemented by music, fine wine, and a sense of celebration. Each event is a testament to their mission: to serve nature’s freshest offerings, responsibly sourced and richly enjoyed.
