About

West Robins Oyster Company

It all started on Fishers Island’s Isabella Beach in 2015. Founders Will Peckham and Walker Lourie sat on the sand in early September after a long summer. Somewhere between the beach and the oysters Will and Walker hatched the idea of starting an oyster farm of their own – of updating tradition, farming regeneratively, and doing good & well.

They couldn’t kick the idea.

West Robins believes that oyster farming is one of the most environmentally responsible (and most delicious) forms of protein production mankind has ever adapted, and we want a food future with fewer negative environmental impacts. It’s that simple. Quality endures, and West Robins’ historical underwater oyster grant has produced oysters for New York’s finest establishments since the late 1800s.West Robins now combines heritage and modern cultivation techniques to hand-craft a delightful New York half-shell oyster.
