Sapelo Sea Farms

At Sapelo Sea Farms, the clams are more than just a business; they’re a way of life. Established in 1997 with a grant from the University of Georgia Marine Extension Service, this family-owned farm has been a driving force in promoting and strengthening Georgia’s shellfish aquaculture industry. Today, Sapelo Sea Farms is the oldest-running clam farm in the state, producing sweet, succulent bivalves that are sought after by chefs and home cooks alike.

But what really sets Sapelo Sea Farms apart is its founder, Captain Charlie Phillips. With over forty years of experience in shrimping, fishing, and growing shellfish, Captain Charlie has a deep commitment to the well-being of our oceans and our planet. Under his leadership, Sapelo Sea Farms operates with the utmost integrity, providing delicious and sustainable shellfish while protecting the water and ecosystem in which they are farmed.
