Sustainability-Driven Farm Certifications

Taylor Shellfish Farms, a prominent North American producer of oysters and other bivalves, has been formally certified as compliant with the Aquaculture Stewardship Council's environmental and social standards following an independent audit. This designation is noted as a first for a shellfish farm within the United States.

The Aquaculture Stewardship Council certification process is extensive and involves site inspections across multiple farming regions in Washington state. Jada Brown, Marketing Manager, Taylor Shellfish Farms, shares: "We believe true sustainability means caring for both people and the planet. Our new ASC certification is a badge of that belief - recognizing our responsible farming practices, commitment to clean water, and the fair, empowering workplaces we’ve built for our teams across Washington’s coastlines. From the South Sound, Samish Bay, and beyond, this milestone celebrates the harmony between our farms, our people, and the waters that sustain us all.”
