The Port Madison Community Shellfish Farm offers CSA memberships for oysters grown in Port Madison Bay on Bainbridge Island. This is a non-profit farm operated by Puget Sound Restoration Fund, and all proceeds go towards water quality improvement projects around the island.
Becoming a member of the Port Madison Community Shellfish Farm means more than receiving deliveries of oysters; it means becoming involved in helping to create a healthier Puget Sound. Growing shellfish has many environmental benefits including improved water quality, species diversity and eelgrass growth. In fact, a single oyster can filter 20 gallons of water a day. Shellfish can be part of the solution to cleaning up Puget Sound.
