Unless you are into foraging for wild oysters, the oysters served at Holberts Oyster Farm factory outlet are as fresh as they get.

The Holbert family have been growing and distributing their award winning oysters for over five generations. While most of their oysters are distributed to restaurants and seafood outlets across the state, locals can watch the oyster shuckers at work in a viewing gallery, before taking them to the scenic outdoor eating area.
