🌊 The Maine Oyster Trail in the New York Times! 🦪

We’re honored and excited to share that Nauti Sisters Sea Farm is officially part of the Maine Oyster Trail, recently spotlighted in the New York Times travel feature, “Slurping Toward Nirvana on the Maine Oyster Trail.”

This national recognition highlights our work as a women-led oyster farm in Yarmouth, Maine, and celebrates the unique, immersive experiences we offer right here in Casco Bay.

What Is the Maine Oyster Trail?

The Maine Oyster Trail, launched by Maine Sea Grant and the Maine Aquaculture Association, is the first digital trail of its kind in the U.S., connecting visitors with more than 80 oyster farms, raw bars, and coastal experiences throughout the state.

"A one-of-a-kind coastal experience that celebrates the people and places behind Maine’s thriving oyster industry,"
— The New York Times, July 4, 2025

Since its launch, the interactive trail has logged over 9,000 check-ins and introduced thousands of travelers to the heart of Maine's aquaculture.

Why We’re Proud to Be Included

At Nauti Sisters Sea Farm, we’re not just farming oysters—we’re creating hands-on coastal experiences. From private oyster tours and raw bar charters to behind-the-scenes education about sustainable farming, our mission has always been to connect people with Maine’s working waterfront.

As noted in the New York Times feature, we are proud to represent:

• A women-led aquaculture business with strong community roots
• A focus on experiential tourism, raw bar service, and coastal education
• A growing part of Maine’s vibrant, sustainable seafood scene
