History has proven that the salinity levels of Virginia waters — a mixture of freshwater from the Appalachian Mountains and Atlantic Ocean seawater — give Virginia oysters a superior flavor. Virginia's ideal location provides oysters moderate winters and cool summers, helping to extend the growing season. Oyster lovers everywhere are sure to enjoy a steady, sustainable, year-round supply of bivalves from Virginia's 48 growers.
