Welcome to Little Star Oyster Farm
Grown By Our Family, Delivered to Yours.
Grown By Our Family, Delivered to Yours.
Nestled in the nutrient-rich waters of NC’s Pamlico Sound, our family-run farm uses sustainable practices to grow North Carolina oysters the right way: slowly, naturally, and with purpose. From the tide to your table, every shell tells a story of clean water, coastal heritage, and hands-on farming.
We are an NC family-run oyster farm located in the pristine waters of Spencer Bay, located in the heart of the Pamlico Sound in Hyde County. Each oyster we grow is a true labor of love for us, as it brings our family together on the water, spending time positively contributing to the environment.
We use top-water floating gear and tumble our crop often. We take great pride in our work, and with the cooperation of Mother Nature, we’ve been able to grow delicious oysters. To quote some feedback we received, “Little Star Oysters have a medium salinity with a very clean, earthy finish”. Seeing our hard work come to life in the form of a consistently shaped, deep-cupped oyster is the most rewarding part!
Our farm family has found solace in the saltwater. For us, there is a sense of place and geographical belonging. We wanted to find a way to share that connection and joy to grow a business together. Little Star is our common cause, it brings us back to this place, our chosen salt water home. We were enamored by the vision of taking a little “seed” spat baby oyster and nurturing it to maturity: our goal is to bring a mouthful of salty goodness to all people who enjoy Little Star oysters.

We were beyond excited to be featured in the article, Dish: Oysters Rockefeller A La Chef Dean Neff of Seabird by Jenn Rice in Forbes. The article features Chef Dean Neff and his Restaurant – Seabird in Downtown Wilmington, NC where our Little Stars were the featured happy hour oyster for the night.
