Jersey Oyster Farm

The Jersey Oyster Company is the largest oyster farm in Great Britain. Most of their oysters are exported to France. They also ship them to Whitstable and Colchester in the UK. Most of those find their way to tables in London restaurants.


The farm is located on Jersey's east coast, in the Royal Bay of Grouville. They also produce muscles which are served up in local restaurants.

There is evidence which shows that Jersey people have eaten oysters from these beaches for the last 6,000 years! Although, originally they would have been fished for and not farmed.

The Jersey Oyster Company was originally called "Le Société de Produits Ostréicole Jerrais" when it first started in the year 1973.
