Who We Are
The Burleigh family has been involved in the oyster industry for around 100 years. With fourth and fifth generations of the family actively working together in the business.
Did you know our family has owned deeded river bottom used for harvesting oysters since 1912? William Burleigh bought it from the Pope family and the oysters beds on it are still in active use today, especially our Peter Creek bed.
Troy Burleigh currently owns the business today after him and his brother Geoff took it over from their father, Rogers, in 2003. Many members of the Burleigh family are actively involved in the packaging and distribution of our oysters and clams today.
Our Community
We are a proud supporter of the Tyne Valley Oyster Festival, which is an event that occurs once a year in our community to celebrate the local oyster fishery. Every year we help supply some of the oysters for the festival.We are also supportive of the PEI Shellfish Association and the amazing work that they do to advocate for the wild oyster industry to help ensure its sustainability for future generations.
