Centuries ago our ancestor Jacob Seth travelled from Scotland to help populate the new Maryland colony. Ultimately he received a land grant from Lord Baltimore for the original farmstead, which we call Lancashire Farm.

Located on Harris Creek in Wittman, minutes from St. Michaels and Tilghman Island, our extended family has been blessed with continued ownership of Lancashire Farm for nearly 3 centuries, which is our connection to the past… a time when our ancestors farmed the land and fished the waters of Talbot County.

Recent years have seen our family move away and seek professional jobs, so our mission with Harris Creek Oyster Co. is to bring our family back to its roots and recapture the heritage of what we used to be.. farmers and waterman.
