Our Story
Great Bay oysters.
People with a story.
An idea from Sheyne. Hands-on farming by Dylan. Engineering from Troy. A family connection and original artwork from Cleo. New England Superior Oyster brings their different talents together around one very good reason to gather: oysters from Great Bay, New Hampshire.
Our home is Back River Farm in Dover, where the Huggins family has cared for the land since 1929. The oyster business is a newer chapter, with its own work, stories and place at your table.

Rooted at Back River Farm.
Back River Farm has been in the Huggins family since Allen and Elizabeth Huggins bought it in 1929. Their care for the land and wildlife habitat is part of the setting for NESO’s oyster farm and private visits today. In 2029, the farm will mark a century in the family.
