About Thimble Island Ocean Farm

Imagine a vertical underwater garden: seaweed and mussels grow on floating ropes, stacked above oyster and clam cages below. Imagine a farm designed to restore rather than deplete our oceans – a farm growing local food but also biofuel and organic fertilizer.

We’re doing it!

Thimble Island Ocean Farm. is proud to be one of the first sustainable 3-d ocean farms in the country. Nestled in the Thimble Islands of Long Island Sound, our 40 acre farm uses the entire water column to grow a variety of species — ranging from sugar kelp and oysters to mussels and scallops — and has emerged as a national model for hyper-local sustainable food production, ocean restoration and economic development.
