About the Farm
Scallop Bay Shellfish Co. operates as a sustainable aquaculture farm specializing in environmentally conscious shellfish production. Based in Pocasset, Massachusetts, the company focuses on farming oysters, scallops, and clams that feed naturally on microalgae present in the local ecosystem, requiring no additional feeding from the farmers themselves.
The farm's operation spans multiple locations across Cape Cod, with a sophisticated growing process that begins at their hatchery in Pocasset. From there, shellfish are cultivated in nursery systems in North Falmouth, Pocasset, and Wareham until they reach 12mm shell height, before being transferred to seed farms in East Falmouth or Orleans. The company has developed proprietary overwintering systems for their oysters, which are then planted in spring on growout farms in North Falmouth and East Falmouth.
Scallop Bay Shellfish Co. champions the environmental benefits of shellfish farming, positioning their work as one of the most environmentally friendly forms of food production on the planet. They emphasize that their aquaculture-raised shellfish provide high protein, low fat nutrition with a lower carbon footprint than any other animal protein, benefiting both the environment and local economies while delivering quality products to consumers.
