Why Whittens
Our family has spent over 45 years refining all our processes and expanding our farms, so that we can deliver the freshest and finest quality oysters to you throughout the entire year.
We do this by using the best farming techniques (many of which were pioneered by the Patriarch of the Whitten Family, Royden Whitten) across multiple farming sites along the coast of NSW, including Brisbane Water at Woy Woy and the Hastings River at Port Macquarie.
What’s the benefit of different locations?
variety
Each location has different conditions like salinity and seagrasses, so you can enjoy a variety of flavour profiles
timing
The different conditions also mean that the oysters reach their prime at different times, so we can guarantee consistent high quality oysters all year round
supply
If we experience any issues in one location, such as weather events, we can still keep supplying you with fresh oysters from our other estuaries
Our passion is to make oysters accessible to everyone all the time, so we’re now making it even easier for you to enjoy our oysters with home delivery.
This is the freshest way to buy oysters, because everything happens with us – we farm, shuck, package and send them directly to you from our farm within 24 hours. And since we cut out all the middle men it means we can also cut out a lot of additional costs, and deliver our oysters to you at exceptional value.
Quality Guaranteed
Our oysters comply with strict regulations and testing by the NSW Health department so you can enjoy them with confidence.
We also ensure the temperature is controlled during every part of the process, so the oysters are both delicious and safe.
