Dabob Bay Oyster Co. is owned and operated by sister duo Annie & Katie. Since 2008, they have utilized traditional, low-impact farming methods to grow exceptionally tasty oysters and clams in the tidelands of Dabob (pronounced day-bob) Bay, a pocket of the Hood Canal. Dabob Cosmics are their beach grown Pacific Oyster- and you could say their flavor is out of this world. Dabob Cosmics are grown in a unique estuary where an expansive tide flat of the Hood Canal meets the fresh water influence from nutrient-rich uplands. This unique merger of the clean, salty waters of the Canal and a fresh water stream creates a crisp and briny oyster with a fresh and sweet cucumber finish. They also offer Manila clams, a tender and sweet classic that are easy to cook and even easier to enjoy. They shine as a stand-alone entree with garlic herb butter, or tossed into a flavorful linguine. Whether in chowder, paella, cioppino, or a clam bake- they are sure to please. Dabob Bay Oyster Co. Manila Clams come purged (sand-free) and ready to savored.

PATCHWORK FARMS
Patchwork Farms has been in operation on Bainbridge Island for over 10 years. The sole operator, Russell Lawson, got his start as an employee with Butler Green Farms. He grows a variety of quality all-year produce and has a special interest in growing mushrooms. Based on the community response to his Oyster Mushrooms, we must say he is quickly becoming the island’s go-to fungi guy!
