WHAT TO EXPECT
Before you arrive, please read through this helpful information on what to expect for parking, weather, tours, accessibility and bathrooms.
GETTING HERE
Tables at The Hatchery are first come first serve. Please only park in our designated areas inside the wharf, and not along Callis Wharf Rd. Please mind our neighbors and the speed limit of 25 mph along Callis Wharf. Thank you!
We offer one small floating dock that can accomodate 1-2 boats at a time. Space is first come first serve - the dock is not available on some Friday nights that we offer charter tours. (May 1, 15 & 29, June12 & 26, July 10 & 24)
WEATHER
Our facility is an open-air waterfront destination off the Milford Haven, which means bad weather will happen! If bad or inclement weather is forecasted we will update our social media and website in advance of a weather closure. Please follow our social media pages for The Hatchery.
OUR OYSTERS
Oyster Seed Holdings is a hatchery-specific company on the "growing edge" of shellfish culture. In a nutshell, we grow millions and millions of oyster larvae and seed per year and sell them to farmers, where the farms grow them to market size. It is an important part of our mission to cultivate community pride and connection to today's dynamic aquaculture industry. In doing so, we offer tours of our facility every other Friday (May through July), and also operate The Hatchery, an oyster-centric food truck eatery for people to experience the "cradle to grave" lifecycle of an oyster! Every few weeks, we feature oysters from different oyster farms in the region and prepare them fresh, fried and roasted at our oyster bar!
BATHROOMS & ACCESSIBILITY
Please be aware that we regret that our facility at Callis Wharf is not currently ADA accessible. While there are no stairs and the ground is flat, guests should expect to navigate graveled areas for parking and dining areas.
We provide clean porta-o-potties at our facility. We appreciate you embracing our rustic aquaculture facility on the historic Callis Wharf!
TOURS
OSH also offers hatchery tours and tastings every other Friday, May through July, where you will get a 30 minute tour of our hatchery facility, then enjoy a complimentary tasting of raw oysters paired with wines. Guests are welcome to stay afterwards and enjoy the food truck and atmosphere as long as they like.
