Capital Oyster

We are farmers, community members, and oyster lovers. Locally owned and operated. Rooted around the capital city of Olympia Washington. A community with a 150 year history in the oyster industry. Together our team is heavily invested in technology and technique. Focused on working with Mother Nature, not against her.

Our master farmer, Tom Bloomfield, is a 5th generation oysterman. He has spent his life work, building on the knowledge his ancestors passed down to him. Renowned in the community as a leader, Tom is at the forefront of oyster aquaculture technology. He spent his career helping others develop and build oyster operations, while farming some of his own tidelands. Now teamed with 2 of the largest Shellfish companies in Washington State, Tom has all the tools he needs to share his work with the world.
