Westcott Bay Shellfish Co.

In the late 70s, the Westcott Bay tidelands were home to a thriving shellfish operation called Westcott Bay Seafarms, which raised renowned oysters that appeared on menus across the country. Over the years the farm went into steady decline, and was put up for sale as a home site.

Henry Island residents Erik and Andrea Anderson bought the dilapidated property in 2013 with the vision of restoring it to its former glory and honoring its legacy in the San Juan Islands community.

Over the years, Erik and Andrea have worked to replant the depleted shellfish crops, rebuild and replace farm infrastructure, and compile a group of dedicated people to create our Westcott Family.

Today, Westcott Bay Shellfish Co. is one of the few small, family-run aquaculture farms in the San Juan Islands. The soul of Westcott Bay is a philosophy of community and environmental stewardship, and a respect for its unique natural and cultural history. We invite you to come and enjoy our laid-back, friendly atmosphere and experience life on a working aquaculture farm.
