The Damariscotta River and the community along its banks create the perfect recipe for a quality oyster, said Ryan McPherson, the new owner of Glidden Point Oyster Sea Farm in Edgecomb. The recipe will remain the same, even as the ownership and location of the oyster farm changes, he said.
McPherson purchased the company, founded by longtime oyster farmer Barb Scully, about a year ago. On Dec. 15, he received Edgecomb Planning Board approval to run the business from 637 River Road, just down the street from its current location.
The property at 637 River Road was the last “puzzle piece” in McPherson’s transition from the fisheries of Massachusetts to his new role as an oyster farmer in Maine, he said. The opportunity to buy the property “popped up” in early December and he grabbed it.
