Taste the Beauty of Maine’s Coastline

Taste the Beauty of Maine’s Coastline

Welcome to Aphrodite Oysters — a premium oyster farm nestled in the clean, tidal waters of the Lower Weskeag River in South Thomaston, Maine.

Named after the Greek goddess of love and beauty, our oysters are a reflection of everything we hold dear: a deep connection to the ocean, a commitment to sustainability, and a love for sharing the incredible flavor of Maine with the world.

Raised with care over three to five years in pristine tidal zones, Aphrodite Oysters are known for their soft, plump flesh and firm, fluted shells. Their distinct appearance and exceptional flavor — moderately salty with slightly sweet overtone — make them a favorite at oyster bars and kitchen tables alike.

Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or tasting your first oyster, we invite you to experience the refreshing, briny sweetness that makes Aphrodite Oysters truly unforgettable.

Discover the Aphrodite Oysters Difference

What sets Aphrodite Oysters apart isn’t just our location — it’s our hands-on approach. Every oyster is nurtured through years of careful tending, daily monitoring, and a deep respect for the ecosystem that sustains us. From tide to table, we focus on quality, purity and care.

We don’t just farm oysters — we steward a piece of the Maine coast. Our methods protect marine habitats, support local jobs, and provide you with a tasting experience that’s as clean as the waters they’re raised in.
