Norumbega Oysters from Damariscotta, ME YGroup_edgewaterAvailable for a limited time only. Farmer: Kellie and Eric Peters Location: Damariscotta River, mid coast Maine Size: 3" How they're grown: The oysters start as seed grown in floating bags on the surface for the first year, then bottom planted for another 1. 5 3 years. No dredging on this farm, you could say they are much more hands on than that. Once the oysters have reached market size, they are pulled from the water by scuba diving. Yep, even in

Growing off the bottom also helpS to protect the oysters from the area's natural predators and harsh weather from the North
some of which will be planted in the thick sandy mud off the coast of North Plymouth until they reach market size
