In 2015, Budden planted his first crop of oysters along the northeast side of Eastern Neck Island on the Chester River. Historically the location of a rich natural oyster reef, the Orchard Point oysters steadily grew in the sandy, light-filled waters of the Chester River.

"We stand behind our commitment to making the Chesapeake Bay better with every oyster we farm, and to growing the freshest, most delicious product possible."

Orchard Point Oyster Company is proud to be the Upper Bay’s premier producer of farm-raised oysters. Every oyster sold has been raised with care by hand and wave-tumbled to produce a deep cup. We’re proud of the distinctive buttery sweetness of our Chesapeake oysters—unique to Orchard Points.
