  • Free Rangers

    Our Free Ranger oysters are grown and harvested the traditional way on our private oyster bars in Virginia's finest oyster-growing rivers, the Rappahannock, Great Wicomico, and Little Wicomico.

    We manage and harvest over 600 acres of wild oyster grounds. Grown on the bottom of the river in naturally occurring bars, the Free Ranger oyster is our biggest and meatiest oyster. Perfect for grilling in the backyard.

    Due to the traditional growing methods, the Free Ranger offers a more mineral and grassy profile with a slightly salty finish.

    The Free Rangers are sold in 100ct boxes.

    Minimum order: 10 boxes.
