The Oyster Farm Shop, Kangaroo Island

Showcasing Island Aquaculture and Sustainable Seafood. If it's not sourced on island, it's from SA!

Visit our farmgate on the only commercial oyster farm on Kangaroo Island. Not a restaurant, fish and chip shop or a fish monger - we are a farm gate. We farm Pacific Oysters, and using two farming techniques, produce our Deep Water Premiums and Coastal Creams. Deep Water Premiums are reknown for their frilly, ornate shell with plump, succulent meat; Coastal Creams rumbled by the surf producing a c

lean smooth shell with delicious meat that fills the shell. The Oyster Farm Shop also showcases Kangaroo Island aquaculture and local sustainable seafood including Kangaroo Island abalone, king george whiting, marron, smoked oysters and a range of locally made sauces and condiments to complement our products. Come for lunch and choose from the Local Produce Farmshop menu (but dont expect silverware, fine china or table service - we are a farmgate) or gather up a feast of island produce to enjoy at your accommodation. Either way, a visit to the Oyster Farm Shop is a must for the freshest oysters on Kangaroo Island.

It's October and The Oyster Farm Shop celebrates its 14th birthday!!!

We are very grateful to our wonderful team, customers and suppliers who have continued to support our little farm shop agritourism venture.

There have been many changes over the years, but last year saw the most significant with the sale of the oyster farm to new owners, KI Oysters, and we look forward to another exciting year of changes ahead!

23/09/2024

September marks the first year anniversary since Kangaroo Island Shellfish, the oyster farm across the road, changed ownership.
With new owners and a new name, KI Oysters has continued to provide our little shop with quality Pacific and Angasi oysters for you to enjoy.
We remind oyster lovers to preorder wholeshell and shucked oysters to avoid disappointment.
Phone 85537122 and leave a message or email us [email protected]
