Unicorn Oyster Co.

Unicorn Oyster Co. is a small farm focused on every aspect of quality and freshness. There goal is to raise clean, vibrant, and flavorful oysters, then delver each oyster directly to chefs and consumers as fresh as the day it leaves the water. Nestled mid-river on the Damariscotta, the farm benefits from the dynamic upwelling geography of the river as tide flows in from the ocean, as well as, flow of nutrients from the shallow neighboring coves. Their oysters are known for their clean approachability, tangy brininess, and flavors of sweet cucumber melon. Carefully nurtured and precisely handled throughout their lives, these oysters embody what it means to be a true Maine classic.

What began in 2019 as a way to stay grounded during the pandemic quickly transformed into a thriving passion. Founder Austin Watroba launched the farm, soon joined by Chris Burns, and together they’ve built Unicorn Oyster Co. into one of New England’s most recognized producers. With the guidance of Eric Peters, their oysters are celebrated today among the most sought-after in New England.
