Ward Aquafarms

Science-driven shellfish farming

Vertically integrated aquaculture

Ward Aquafarms & Hatchery is a cutting-edge, vertically integrated aquaculture company that uses science and technology to maximize production across many areas of aquaculture — from commercial oyster sales to shellfish propagation for towns, research with academic partners, and technology development.

Operational since the summer of 2012, the farm commercially grows oysters, bay scallops, quahogs and sugar kelp at locations in East Falmouth, North Falmouth, Orleans, Bourne and Wareham, Massachusetts, and specializes in seed supply through its hatchery operation.
