Circle C Oyster Ranch

Circle C is nestled in the countryside in southern St. Mary's County. We raise our native oysters in floats near the surface where they can graze on the freshest sweetest sun-drenched algae. This gives our oyster a crisp sweet taste which are match for the finest wines. Our livestock operation is an environmental asset; increasing water clarity, which in turn increase plant growth and oxygen production. Our floats provide a protected nursery for small fish and crustaceans which are the base of the food chain. Our oysters are raised generation after generation from our own selected brood line, improving quality every generation. We are closely associated with the educational community, working with graduate students, college interns and school projects.
