Raised on Maryland's Eastern Shore, Orchard Point Oyster Company founder Scott Budden grew up surrounded by the bounty of the Chesapeake Bay. After college, Budden found himself in corporate jobs, but he longed for a way to leave the world of cubicles behind. His dream was to find a way to make a living on the water and get back to his roots in Kent County, Maryland. In 2009, when the path was cleared for oyster farming in Maryland, the concept resonated with Budden deeply. Here, he felt, was a way to help restore the Bay, revive a once thriving product, and earn an honest living. (pick up and delivery)
