Oxbow Public Market - Hog Island Oyster Company -

- Welcome to the Neighborhood!Located at the Oxbow Public Market next to the Inn, Hog Island Oyster Company was founded in 1983 by three marine biologists who shared a vision to raise sustainable, premium grade oysters for the San Francisco Bay Area. Tomales Bay, a pristine inlet of the Pacific Ocean just 50 miles north of San Francisco, yet worlds away, was the partner’s choice oyster-growing location. From their very first hand-raised bushel sweet, succulent Hog Island Oysters became a bay area legend. In 2003 Hog Island opened their first Hog Island Oyster Bar in the San Francisco Ferry Building Marketplace on the San Francisco Waterfront. It delighted Bay Area ‘Foodies’ and was an instant success. Now, in Napa, Oxbow Public Market provides a similar market venue, and a unique Napa Valley wine country setting.
