Our Commitment to Sustainability: Partnering with Full Measure Oyster Company and BattlePoint Aquaculture for Chesapeake Bay Little Neck Clams

At AllFreshSeafood.com, we are passionate about bringing you the highest quality seafood while maintaining our commitment to environmental sustainability. That’s why we are thrilled to introduce our new partnership with Full Measure Oyster Company and BattlePoint Aquaculture, leaders in sustainable aquaculture on Virginia's Eastern Shore.

About Full Measure Oyster Company

Full Measure Oyster Company is a true seed-to-table farm, powered by the sun, driven by the tides, and worked by the dedicated men and women of Virginia's Eastern Shore. They are not only committed to providing the freshest and most delicious oysters and clams but are also pioneers in sustainable aquaculture practices.

About BattlePoint Aquaculture

BattlePoint Aquaculture is a locally-owned and operated business that has been raising the freshest, highest-quality clams since 2013. Their Metompkin Bay, Virginia farm-raised clams are grown in pristine seaside conditions on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and are sustainably grown using put-and-take fishery methods.

The name BattlePoint comes with a bit of a backstory. Since the turn of the 19th century, the abundant tidal fishing grounds on the Eastern Shore of Virginia were hotly contested by fishermen looking to lay claim to the bay's rich and abundant shellfish resources. In many instances, these conflicts came to violent resolution in the rush to harvest these waters. As a result, many watermen set up "watch houses" to keep an eye out for anyone intruding on their tidal claims. Our property, BattlePoint, is one of these such properties overlooking Metompkin Bay. Unfortunately, as a result of overfishing, much of the natural clam and oyster population was depleted. Today, the move toward sustainable aquaculture has resulted in a re-population of the bay and contributed to a healthier ecology.

The Best Little Neck Clams from the Chesapeake Bay

We are proud to offer Little Neck Clams, harvested from the pristine waters of the Chesapeake Bay at BattlePoint Clams section. These clams are renowned for their sweet, briny flavor and tender texture, making them a perfect addition to any seafood dish. Whether you enjoy them steamed, grilled, or in a classic clam chowder, you’ll taste the difference that sustainable farming practices make.

Their Promise

BattlePoint Aquaculture is committed to providing customers with the best quality clams and excellent customer service. They take great pride in their product and strive to ensure that you get the freshest, most flavorful clams possible.

Grit-Free Clams

BattlePoint Aquaculture's clams are purged in their natural seaside waters before reaching customers. This allows them to maintain their natural sweet and briny flavor while helping to provide a grit-free experience.

Sustainable Practices

Farm-raised clams offer a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for seafood consumption. BattlePoint Aquaculture’s clams are grown using put-and-take fishery management, ensuring minimal impact on wild populations and their habitats. They also help improve water quality by filtering excess nutrients and sediment, thus contributing to the overall health of the ecosystem.

Carbon Neutral Production

Full Measure Oyster Company is the first and only oyster farm to implement a 100% carbon-neutral production plan. They rely on 124 solar panels to fully power their land-based operations, producing over 60,000 kilowatt hours of usable energy annually. This solar energy offsets the entire property’s electrical cost and even allows them to sell excess energy back to the local electric cooperative. By harnessing solar power, Full Measure minimizes their environmental impact, ensuring that their operations are as eco-friendly as possible.

Sustainable Practices by Full Measure

Full Measure Oyster Company’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond solar power. They are transitioning to an eco-friendly transport fleet, using clean idle eco-diesel trucks to deliver their products while minimizing their carbon footprint. Additionally, they utilize a 50 KWH propane generator for backup power, with plans to replace it with a battery system in the future. This dedication to reducing their environmental impact aligns perfectly with our values at AllFreshSeafood.com.
