Oysterponds ShellFish Co. – an oyster farm located in the picturesque town of Orient which is said to produce “the epitome of East End oysters.” The Halyard only serves Oysterponds oysters. Owner Reg Tuthill, Lyle Tuthill, and marine science professor John Holzapfel started growing oysters in the creek in 2001 as an aquaculture science project. Over the next couple of years, they grew enough oysters to start selling in New York City and locally, quickly building a following of loyal customers. By 2003, Oysterponds Shellfish Company was born.

With the addition of key personnel the company has continued to grow, and is now distributing nationwide with enough oyster stock to meet the demands of the market. Oysterponds Shellfish Company is dedicated to producing oysters of the highest quality and freshness, maintaining a consistent year round supply. Oysterponds Shellfish provides intimate tours to our guests in the summer & fall season. Please book a tour directly through the Hotel front desk or email khoblin@soundviewgreenport.com for more information.
