About Chelsea Farms

Founded by Linda and John Lentz in Olympia, Washington. The name 'Chelsea' comes from John's tugboat used for geoduck diving and means 'Port of Ships.' The 'Gem' part highlights their deep-cupped, jewel-like shells. Chelsea Farms pioneered the tide-tumbling cultivation method.

Chelsea Gem

US West Coast

The original tide-tumbled oyster from Eld Inlet's pristine waters. Deep-cupped with plump meats, mild brininess, silky creamy texture, and a signature sweet cucumber finish. A true Pacific Northwest gem.
