Oregon Oyster Farms

I made it my mission to find smoked oysters and fresh oysters for aunties and was quite happy when I found this farm. The oysters I saw in the packing room (through glass windows) was very big (see the last photo I posted) Since my aunties wanted to have fresh oysters, we opted for cold water oysters which are much smaller. Aunties were very happy with the oysters.

Tried the oyster shooter in person. It was so good, I ended up purchasing a dozen oysters to take home. I had no issues with them except one, where I had to toss it.

Friendly staff and fantastic oysters. We ate oyster shooters at the store and got carried away, buying too much. Also learned that you can pre-order 2 days in advance and pickup on one of their delivery route locations.

Bought oysters here for over 50 years. Used to be our favorite place to get oysters in the state of Oregon. However, they won’t sell you cocktail oysters anymore. If you ask for them at the store, they tell you you have to call ahead if you want shucked cocktail oysters; then, when you call ahead to order them they won’t sell them to you. They argue with you about how you’re going to cook them (been pan frying these oysters like they used to at Dan & Louie’s FOR 50 YEARS), then tell you the smallest they will sell you are petite. Petite are NOT little oysters. We’ll be taking our business elsewhere.

Fresh oysters! You're able to order samples to try before you buy. 2 main varieties. 4 or maybe 5 different sizes. I got some smaller to eat fresh, and medium to bbq. Also had fresh clams in stock. A little off the beaten path, but a pretty drive. I will be a returning customer.

Generally just some of the best Oyster I have ever had in my life just go and try it for yourself

Oregon Oyster Farm near Newport serves the local market and ships to Asia as well as other places. The owner is a big supporter of The Wetlands Conservancy. Most of their oysters, Pacific oysters, grow on the bottom of Yaquina Bay and nearby sloughs, but they also raise thousands of oysters suspended on ropes from the floats near the store and processing sheds.(I'd give 5 stars except that they do disturb marine habitat by dredging and the part of their operations on the south side of the bay is a bit messy. However, the extensive oyster beds at low tide are a feast of small crustaceans, worms, trapped minnows, and crabs that feed crows, herons, egrets, ducks, and even eagles.) While you are at the store, take time to watch the birds and possibly seals on the floats and on the water nearby--harbor seals, herons, egrets, cormorants, sometimes pelicans, sandpipers, loons, grebes, buffleheads, and more.

Best place to get oysters in my opinion!!! Love them.

Been going here for years. Many years! Never had a bad oyster and service has always been great. This place has been here since the early 1900's and is located across the street from the old town site of Oysterville. Pretty cool! I recommend the Extra Smalls with some egg and cracker crumbs and plenty of lemon and salt. Worth the stop if needing an oyster fix!

Delicious fresh oysters. Couldn't get Petite shucked oysters due to warm water temperature. We'll return in a colder month next year. We barbecued, shucked for raw and stewed our small sized oysters they were delicious!

Fresh as it could get!! A great cruise to get here with great scenery. I ordered medium size oysters, I was able to spread out for two days I make my own shooter cocktail, these were big enough I had to cut in three portions can't go wrong! I also purchased the seasoned which I sprinkled some inside my glass with Jacobson habanero salt, I really liked the quality. Service was great, can't remember the lady's name but she was very helpful & was able to brake down the different sizes prices ect. They have a picnic table outside to have them if wanted fresh out the shell! Definitely coming back to try to make fried. Strongly recommend

Staff was friendly and helpful at the counter. Oysters were fresh and delicious. Would be nice to have the option to eat fresh oysters onsite like other farms we have visited. Definitely be back for more.

Best oysters in the world! Picked up a 1/2 bushel and the service was awesome. Also got free oysters shells for our chickens. Max the manager went above and beyond with great service & samples of oysters for me to try. He also explained how oysters are grown. Highly recommend!

When we asked a local where to purchase raw oysters, they sent us here. Very good prices so expect to receive a lot of oysters. If eating raw, I recommend ordering extra small to swallow in one bite (which were surprisingly large - I can't imagine how big the large ones come!) There is not a place to eat on site, as this is only an ordering counter to go. Oysters came in a container within a bag of ice to keep fresh. We wish they provided or sold extras to go with the oysters, like vinegar, lemon, onion, etc but this was not offered. So do not expect a restaurant ambiance or experience.

I have been twice, years apart, and gotten sick from the oysters both times now and this last time my husband had food poisoning. But the food and service was excellent other than that.

I seriously Yelped this place before visiting Oregon in February. I was determined and just had to get fresh oysters from this specific oyster farm. I was not disappointed. Oregon Oyster Farm was easy to find and had some parking across the street. Parking seemed limited where the building was. Unfortunately when I went, COVID-19 ruined the whole oyster farm experience and live shucking. But at least I learned how to shuck my own oyster. I walked up to the window and there was a menu with the oysters and pricing. I got a dozen Kumamoto oysters and a pint of already shucked medium oysters. I loved how the oysters were bagged with ice for the 1 to 2 hour ride up to Lincoln. The kumamotos were super delicious! They were small, succulent, sweet, and slightly salty. Not to mention - FRESH. My boyfriend doesn't enjoy raw oysters as much as I do but the kumamotos here, he loved. Usually I get the most portion of oysters but we split it down the middle. We also made oyster shooters with these, they were PERFECT in the shooters. The raw oysters in the pint were good, tasted fresh but I think the shelled ones are way better! I will definitely be back.

Great place to take the family and watch them shuck oysters. Also great to try raw oyster shooters. Totally worth the windy drive down the long road. Be prepared to spend a little for the oysters but they are worth it!

I arrived around 330pm on a Monday afternoon. I bought a dozen of xs oysters,1/2 pint of smoked oysters and 3 pounds of the steamer clams. This place is straightforward, it's a small front store. Walk in, get what you need and pay. The farm is small and there were no oyster processing in sight or anyone working at the farm. Maybe it's toward the end of the day? I was informed by the cashier that most oysters must be cooked due to the waters here. The only type of oysters that can be eaten raw are the xs oysters (which are not harvested here but at another farm). She did not say from where but assured me they are safe to consume raw. My reason for 2 stars rating is mainly due to the oysters. I got violently ill 2 hours in after consumption. Threw up twice and had tummy issues the rest of the evening. It has been 2 days and I haven't fully recovered 100%. Everyone in the family enjoyed the steamer clams and had no issues. I was the only one that had the oysters. I have had dozens of raw oysters in my life but never had any issues until now. Please think twice about consuming raw xs oysters raw from this place.

You want to buy the best fresh oysters on the Oregon Coast at what is basically a wholesale price? This is the place. A meandering drive east along the north shore of Yaquina Bay & River, and you come to what appears to be an old shanty, with the racks of oysters in long piers out on the water. Only a few parking spaces in front, so park in the lot across the road. Prepare for Paradise. Big sacks of fresh oysters on ice at a great price. Prep the way you love'em at home and come back for more!

Amazing place, the owner was really nice and showed us how to shuck oysters. The oysters are HUGE the medium is over a pound and it's quite hard to shuck but really meaty. We got a 4-5 lb oyster shell to take home after we got a tour around the farm from the kind owner. 10/10 worth a detour

This place is off the beaten path in Newport but we love getting the freshest oysters in town. You go up to the window and order what you want and then a bag of oysters on ice appears. There were several delicious choices they advised on and we did the kumi oysters which were sweet. There's no missing this place, look for the piles of oyster shells next to the parking lot by the bay!

Medium oyster from here is large anywhere else! Very fresh and juicy oysters at reasonable price makes up for a bit of drive there. They were out of smoked oysters and I'll be looking forward to getting it next time!

10/10 would not recommend. I sent my mom here to pick up 3 dozen oysters and she came back with oysters that were spawning. They were inedible and ultimately ended up in the trash (if you've ever eaten oysters that were spawning then you know what I mean!) I'm floored that an oyster farm would sell oysters that were spawning without giving their customer a heads up!

I will start out by saying we have been coming here to buy oysters for over 10 years when we visit Newport on our yearly trip and have always been greeted nicely. This year however, we were not. I like how the company has improvised and customers can order through the window instead of going inside, but no need to be rude. If your employees don't want to deal with the public (even those of us that are wearing masks and social distancing) maybe they shouldn't be assisting at the front window. On the good side, the oysters were delicious

Get a dozen extra smalls and bbq them. You're welcome. A fun local spot in the back bay. If you're camping in the area, it's a great place to get oysters to cook on the grill. If you're a local or from Corvallis, you already know this.

We had a mass amount of oysters from Oregon Oyster Farm at an event. Nice Fall oysters from clean waters in Yaquina Bay. We enjoyed raw the native Pacific oysters, with meats 1 - 1 1/2 inches across, Kumamotos, a Japanese species 1 1/2 - 2 inches across, and smoked oysters. The oysters were just a few hours from harvest and epic. The company was founded by the same family that founded Dan and Louie's Oyster Bar in Portland! Local, local, local!

This is the worst oyster farm I've been to. First, Yaquina oysters are so bland. Second, you cannot shuck your own and eat it there. You must either pay for them to shuck it, bring your own knife, or buy a $10 knife. Other farms provide their customers with shucking knives. Bad way to make a buck. Customer service needs to be improved. The only thing that is good here is that they are cheap. About $13-15 for petite to medium, and $18 for Kumamotos. About $1 per oyster, if you want it shucked. Not worth the drive. It's about 20 mins away from Hwy 101. You are better just getting oysters from other seafood markets in the middle of Newport.

We love oysters and this was a great place. Bought raw oysters smoked oysters. Also shooter downed on the spot. Watched crew of guys shucking oysters. Amazing. Fastest was 35 a minute. I can't do one a minute. Young ladies behind the counter were delightful and very helpful. We tried smoked oysters. My wife loved them. I thought they were too sweet.

My family and I were on a week long RV trip up the Oregon coast and we were on the hunt for fresh seafood. We were all so thrilled to find the Oregon Oyster Farm! The owner was super awesome and helpful and we loved learning about all the different kinds of oysters and etc. We bought a mixture of different oysters that we planned to BBQ and eat raw and wow were they SO delicious!!! Our oyster feast at our campsite was probably everyone's favorite night of the trip! I seriously can't wait to go back!

We came to this oyster farm at the end of the day last year, and the owner was the one who was closing the store, so we got to chat with him for a while and he was so friendly about everything! (Telling us about how all the oysters in that gigantic truck parking right outside the farm are going to import to Taiwan!) So, of course we came back again... HOWEVER, my very recent experience is TERRIBLE! This middle aged female worker was being extremely sketchy about the service fee of shucking the oyster! (We are on a road trip so we hope she can shuck the oysters for us) First, she was asking me how much would I buy. So I don't want to be cheap since she told me she is going to shuck them. And I told her I'd get about 40 dollars of oysters (I think it's about 2 dozens) Then, she told me she will charge me 3 dollar shucking fee per oyster! Then I said it's not on the menu, and last time when I visited, your boss didn't charge me anything! She replied her boss is not here today and she is going to change me 3 dollars service fee of shucking each oyster! I was shocked by how weird this whole thing turned out. So, I politely said I would come back next time. However, she changed her mind and told me she would give me a discounted service fee if I still want it! I'm sooooo shocked that how can a service fee be so unpredictable (not marked on menu) and the service can also be changed anytime by the employee!?!? Her attitude is full of greed and I was so shocked and scared by her unprofessional service. I didn't want to confront her as I still believe her boss is a good man. So, I quietly left.

We visited the Oregon Oyster Farm last Saturday July 15, 2018. They were very personable, explained about the growing and harvesting Oysters. We purchased 2 dozen of the petite sized oysters. We cooked them last evening and they were scrumptious. Tasty, and flavorful. This is our second trip to the Oregon oyster Farm and we are happy campers. Don't miss a visit to this awesome Oyster Farm. Ron Keffer

The medium oysters were very huge, grilled them with my homemade sauce and the results were incredible. I love fresh oysters. Just wish I didn't twice stabbed my left hand while shucking them, it was a bit difficult to shuck these huge oysters.

They have nice oysters, however, they are twice as much money compared to what I usually pay in Charleston.

Got oysters here one time a few years ago...mainly due to all the reviews and due to me love of this shellfish. However, I proceeded to get sick for almost 3 wks. after eating them at this location. Not the freshest or not in a month ending in "r" :), or full of plastics? Take care!

The oysters were great. I've only ever had raw oysters at a restaurant. These are certainly the best I've ever had. A couple of points for those not in the know (Like I was): You can just buy a 1/2 pint of raw oysters, so already shucked. They are not as nice looking as when presented in the half-shell by a waiter, but just as tasty. This place is an actual oyster farm and not a restaurant. You have to get them to-go. So if this is your first time, I suggest: 1. Go buy a few forks and napkins 2. Go here and get a 1/2 pint of the petite oysters (don't be fooled into thinking xtra small means small). Be sure to buy cocktail sauce there too. 3. Go find a nice park bench overlooking the ocean and enjoy.

Nothing but bi-valves! They are focused on oyster goodness and that's it! You can watch them shucking from the window or from inside the store. The owner/manager/? gave us a little informative tasting session at the register and shucked one of each varieties coupled with a little history. The Kumamotos are my favorite--salty and didn't need a damn thing on them. The Pacifics are big and meaty and would go well with some lemon and horseradish. Great service! Beautiful Drive! Wonderful oysters!

We love this place! With everything going on, you purchase your oysters speakeasy style, but it's as fresh as it gets. Good service as well. "Medium" is a complete misnomer, but in a good way! Can't wait to return!

This place Kicks Ass on SO many levels! $12 for a dozen kumos, $6 for dozen locals or the Large oysters. Wish we had another cooler with us. It was pretty cool seeing how fast those guys can schuck an oyster. Service was extremely friendly! A Must Stop for any Oyster fan!

This tiny Yaquina Bay oyster farm sure grows some behemoth bi-valves. I bought the medium ones, and they were twice the size of any oyster I've ever seen at the supermarket. We iced ours down, drove them back to Corvallis, grilled them until they just popped open (http://www.liketocook.com/50226711/do_not_eat_raw_oysters.php), and topped them with shoyu, tabasco, and lemon juice. Paired with an ice-cold Rogue Morimoto Soba Ale...OMFG. That's what summer BBQs are all about.

Fresh and affordable. Definitely a place you must go to if you love seafood and you're in the Oregon coast

Top shelf operation! Awesome product and large selection to choose from. Big Bang for the buck. Yaquina bay Petites and small are the most creamy and decadent tasting Oysters I've had in a longtime. Definite stop when ever I'm on the coast of the Pacific Northwest.

Oyster fest. You can buy a pint and eat them at the picnic table. Can't get any fresher.

Excellent BIG oysters (called medium) and a bag of fresh clams. Very good quality and helpful clerk. Don't miss this stop if you come over to the coast!

Yum!!! Got two pints of shucked small oysters ($20), you just can not get them any fresher and yummier. They sell their homemade cocktail sauce, very yummy and reasonably priced,; make sure to pick some up for shooters! Very friendly staff, and you can see them shucking scads of oysters right thru the window. Yum yum yum. Came home and had some oyster shooters then grilled oysters for dinner. Very pretty 8 or so mile drive from Newport, right along the bay

I come to Newport every year and always come to this place at least once or twice during my visit.The people have always been nice and the oysters fresh and delicious. HOWEVER I came here the other day for my second visit this year.Clearly caught EVA on a bad day..when I would ask her a SIMPLE question her answers were "I don't know" and "that's just the way it is"..Who treats their customer like that? ..Oh ..my question was why are the smaller oysters more expensive?? A very nice blond haired lady came around the corner and nicely answered my question. Here is the clincher..I ordered a 1/2 gal of medium oysters and EVA loaded me up with extra small. Seriously.. why??I didn't know until I got ready to cook them and was 2 hrs away..so..EVA..You cheated the business you work for and I still had some great oysters and you knew exactly what you were doing. . I am posting this to hopefully make her superiors aware of her attitude. I spent over 50.00 there each time..Don't need to be treated this way..

We stopped by after visiting Thor's Well. The oysters are absolutely fresh and delicious. The service is amazing. After having the oysters here, we will never be able to eat oyster anywhere else. Never had any oysters as good as these. Luckily they can ship them overnight. We are from Los Angeles and we will definitely order more in the future.

Stopped by while on a road trip, so happy to have found it! FRESH oyster shooters from the source, smoked and fresh shucked oysters to go. You need to go here and support a great local business that has been doing it since 1907!

Rolled by here to buy some oysters to grill for dinner. I wanted to get extra large but my boyfriend talked me down to mediums and thank goodness - two dozen medium oysters were so large they barely fit in our cooler! Also grabbed some hot sauce as accoutrement. Awesome spot, also famous for providing oysters to anyone running the local marathon. Will be back!

I finally tried this place and now I wished I had tried it sooner. The oysters are very fresh and the prices are affordable. I bought two pints of the small oysters and they did all the dirty work for me. Eventhough I ordered the small oysters, they were still a good size and the flavor was incredible. They packed them in ice for me and even gave me a few recipes to try. I will definitely come back. Also, give their homemade cocktail sauce a try, it's pretty good.

Im from Oregon, and this has got to be the most expensive place to buy in the shell oysters at $15 a dozen for medium sized, large ones cost $21 a dozen, great oysters, but overpriced specially for buying it at the farm, $8 a dozen in most farms on the coast, greed has set in, too bad.

Amazing prices. Medium oysters seem very large, and are only $6.25 for a large pint. Tasty and fresh. They also have steamer clams, or oysters in the shell, and are very good priced for such yummy and fresh items. They'll put them on ice for you to drive home with, and have lots of size and cut options. Great excuse for a beautiful drive on the bay.

Love this place, best oyster. Buy them in the five lb bag to have for your next party.

Not what I thought it would be. The oysters themselves were a little bland. The staff was very friendly!

Yup. As billed. Just awesome. I'm fully sated just thinking about this place. Definitely a must stop when driving on the coast. Bring towelettes, some drank (ice cold brew recommended) and you're set.

Best raw oysters we have ever had, hands down! And the drive to get there is an added bonus, simply beautiful!

I live in California but every time I'm in town visiting family stopping here is a must. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the clams and oysters are as fresh and tasty as can be. This last visit I ordered 2 dozen small oysters and in my opinion they were pretty big and will probably get extra small next time but it's all a matter of preference and I loved them nonetheless. Great experience every time and I wish I could go here way more often.

Nothing beats eating fresh raw oysters right in front of where they were harvested! We bought a dozen of some big guys, borrowed a shucking knife from the ladies behind the counter (they also sell them there), they furnished some hot sauce, and we sat out back on a picnic table, shucked away and downed the fresh oysters under the sun in front of the sparkling water. A perfect afternoon, in my book! My partner also loved the smoked oysters.
