Why Charleston

The Lowcountry is oyster country

Charleston, South Carolina has been an oyster town for centuries. The shells from these waters carry a story that no generic East Coast supplier can match. When your customers ask where the shells come from, you'll have an answer worth telling.

Every shell in your crate was harvested, cleaned, and sun-dried in the same Lowcountry air that makes Charleston one of America's most beloved cities.

Sourced with care. Shipped with pride. Made for makers.
