Farm tour
DESCRIPTION
Come experience a beautiful cruise around Casco Bay aboard a comfortable center console with a licensed captain and Love Point oyster farmer as your guide. We will drop anchor at our farm site and fill up on oysters while learning about the farming process and soaking in the natural wonders of Maine’s iconic coastline. Our farm is nestled into the southeast corner of Upper Goose Island - a remote, pristine setting with stunning natural beauty. It is this location, miles away from other oyster farms, that gives our oysters their distinctive flavor profile and makes this tour experience one of a kind.
