Our Farms
Bombazine Oyster Company
Bombazine Oyster Company is a family-owned and operated oyster farm on the New Meadows River in Brunswick, Maine. We offer oyster farm tours, cater events, and sell oysters to local restaurants and seafood markets.
We raise our oysters using surface cages, a method that keeps them close to the nutrient-rich water column and allows for regular air drying to keep our oysters clean. Throughout their two year lifespan these oysters never touch the river’s silty bottom. We also tumble our oysters to their shells and encourage deep cups, making them a standout on any raw bar.
The New Meadows River is technically an embayment and has very little freshwater influence, which gives our oysters their powerful brine. Our farm, nestled next to Bombazine Island, sees some of the highest phytoplankton counts in the entire state. This is due to the river’s unique rich glacial sediment and varied topography which results in high primary productivity.
Bombazine Oysters are a high-salinity oyster with a bright, grassy start, followed by a subtle sweetness from the adductor, and a dry, crisp finish— making them truly unique
