  • “We’ve been scarfing oysters in as many places as we can; Wales, Cornwall and Galicia (a Celtic, Oyster journey) to name a few. Our visit to your farm was amazing; we really learned about terroir and that learning has been a wonderful part of our oyster eating enjoyment, and Celtic journey. Thank you so much for this special experience.”

    Gretchen Mohen, USA

  • “Our family of four (kids aged 10 and 12) thoroughly enjoyed the private tour of Kelly Oysters! It was hands-on, interesting and such a fun adventure when we put on the waders and went into the water. Our tour guide took great care and made sure we were fully fed of oysters along the way. The tasting at the end was gorgeous and thoughtful. Our kids learned how to shuck, and we were happy to try local beer, bread and toppings. Highly recommend visiting if you are anywhere near the area.”

    Sarah Downing, USA

  • “Had an amazing time! Very informative and was able to learn so much about how they handle oysters. So thoughtful on the whole tasting too – absolutely loved the red wine vinegar topping! 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for a unique experience on a more personal and local level. Also, who doesn’t love oysters with beer?”

    Camrie Trautman, USA

  • “Kelly Oysters produce both the Gigas (rock) and Edulis (native) species. They are one of the few remaining operations that do, and thank goodness for that. The sharp, unmistakable mineral quality of the Native sang out immediately. The texture was brilliantly firm, chewy, and full of life.”
