Holberts Oyster Farm

Holberts Oyster Supplies is Port Stephens' leading oyster growing and processing business. For over five generations, the Holbert family has been cultivating and distributing their award-winning oysters to local restaurants and seafood outlets around the Port Stephens area. In recent years, Holberts Oysters has expanded significantly, becoming one of the largest oyster processors in New South Wales. This growth has allowed their product to reach not only local markets but also destinations across the state, interstate, and even export markets. A key milestone in their expansion was the opening of a new waterfront factory outlet on the shores of Cromarty Bay. The premises were designed with customer needs in mind, featuring a large shop front offering a vast array of freshly shucked oysters and other local seafood.
