Maryland Oyster Farm and Growing Restaurant Group True Chesapeake Oyster Co. has been farming premium sustainable oysters in the beautiful brackish waters of St. Jerome Creek in Southern Maryland since 2010. Their farming practices are more than sustainable to the rich ecosystem of the Chesapeake Bay, they are restorative. In 2019, the team opened their flagship restaurant in historic Whitehall Mill, becoming Maryland’s first oyster farm to have a fine dining restaurant. They aspire to create restorative dining experiences showcasing their oysters, true to Maryland’s heritage, and celebrating the bounty of the region. The hospitality group’s entire family of restaurants also includes The Local Oyster market stalls in Mount Vernon Marketplace and Ballston Quarter (Virginia), the newest freestanding location of The Local Oyster in Locust Point (Baltimore) opening this 2022, and Lagniappe, coming soon to Remington (Baltimore).
