About Madhouse Oysters

About company

The oyster is sustainability in action and a keystone species in the ecology of the Chesapeake. The farmed oyster, like it’s wild counterpart, requires no outside food input, cleans the water in which it lives (filtering up to 50 gallons/oyster/day!!), and is fundamentally responsible for an explosion of diversity of aquatic life in areas where oyster reefs or oyster farms exist. Additionally, and no small matter, these farms provide sustainable jobs for the men and women who call oyster farming their profession.
