• OUR MISSION

    Farm the ocean, restore our estuaries, and feed our community.

  • SINCE 2009

    Started in 2009 by Jules Opton-Himmel and now owned by Brad Boehringer, Walrus and Carpenter Oysters has grown from a small passion project, to one of the most recognized oysters in the state.  The goal from the beginning has been to work with the best chefs and leaders within the culinary world.  Our approach is a mix of hard science with a commitment to sustainable food.

  • “It don't matter if it's snowin’ or blowin’, we’re still goin’.” ​

    We pride ourselves on harvesting and delivering to restaurants every week, guaranteeing chefs get the freshest product possible. No matter the conditions, we are committed to getting our chefs what they need, when they need it.

  • "Brad and his team were truly INCREDIBLE. We went on an amazing tour of the Oyster farm learning just how hard it is to make a great oyster- a combination of hard work, dedication, and science and how he has brought the farm to the next level alongside ensuring his team has a living wage. I ordered oysters and a T-shirt from the website and had just amazing customer service with updates and great communication. Most importantly, the oysters were INCREDIBLE. I can't say enough good things about all aspects of our interactions with Walrus and Carpenter Oysters!!!!!!"
