BRUNSWICK, Maine — Now in its third year, Mere Point Oyster Company has seen demand for its product grow faster than expected.
This year the company produced 25,000 oysters, which are available only at the Brunswick Farmers Market.
But co-owner Dan Devereaux said he’s been approached by chef Sam Hayward of Fore Street Restaurant, as well as Eventide Oyster Co. and The Shop in Portland.
“They all want the oysters,” he said. “They love the taste. We grow the best oysters in the entire country up here. If you listen to the oyster connoisseurs, they love oysters from the northeast.
