Like you, we expect the food we eat is safe, sustainably farmed and responsibly sourced. That's why sustainability is a given throughout everything we do.
Sourcing & farming
We have oyster farms located in eight NSW estuaries: Hastings River, Wallis Lake, Shoalhaven, Narooma, Bermagui, Wapengo, Nelsons Lagoon and Merimbula.
We also source from 20 NSW estuaries from the top to the bottom of the NSW east coast as well as from Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia.

Environmental sustainability forms the foundation of the Oystersmiths brand. We operate under estuary-wide oyster Environmental Management Systems to increase industry sustainability and profitability. Actions vary from upgrading to more environmentally friendly infrastructure, to raising awareness of catchment issues in local communities.
AOC Sustainabilitysustain -ability
Australian oyster farmers are world leaders in the co-management of environmental sustainability.
This presents an opportunity for our industry to build on this achievement by branding themselves as the most environmentally sustainable oyster growing region in the world.
We love seagrass. It is a habitat for fish and other marine animals, helps reduce erosion, improves water quality, is a good food source for fish and aquatic fauna, and it contributes to the umami flavour in our oysters.
In return, oysters feed on the microscopic plankton, bacteria and excess algae in the water allowing more sunlight to penetrate the water. Since sea grasses need sunlight to grow, this simple action by our filter feeding oysters promotes seagrass health naturally.
