About

A small, boat-accessible operation run by fisherman Joe Young in Mill Pond, a secluded salt pond reached only through a narrow channel and cove on the southern shore of Gouldsboro Bay, near the village of Corea on the Schoodic Peninsula. In 2022 the Maine Department of Marine Resources granted the farm a 20-year lease to expand its 2.2-acre operation, allowing it to grow and harvest between 100,000 and 400,000 oysters at any given time in cages on the bottom of the pond.
