Hog Island Oyster Farm is located on the shoreline of Tomales Bay, where we grow, harvest, shuck, and share great oysters. Our outdoor event space offers a rustic bay-to-bar experience with spectacular views of the bay in which our oysters grow. Our space is best suited for cocktail-style parties or a full-service sit-down dining experience.
