LOC is a comprehensive farm-to-table operation. To maintain high-quality benefits and provide an outstanding experience, we limit the number of annual memberships. Each year, the club accepts a select few new members after considering returning members, farm operations, and other factors. Currently, we offer two membership levels (see benefits below).

Benefits Explained
Oyster Festival
The Festival is our premier event to celebrate the Lynnhaven Oyster. We serve these legendary oysters several ways: raw, roasted, baked, stewed and fried. Fan favorites include made-to-order oyster stew, oyster poboy sliders, and on the half-shell with a wide array of optional sauces, mignonettes, member-inspired combos, and ponzu-based oyster dressings and shooters. Alternative food for the non-oyster eater, adult beverages and live music are also provided.
Premium Gear
Premium gear ranges from the practical (shucking knives) to the fashionable (hoodies). Each membership includes your choice of one premium gear item.
Please note: LOC does not hold copious inventories of these items so your gear requests will be filled once we collect all member orders following existing member renewal and new member registration.
Pop-Up Events
Pop-Ups are happy-hour style events and have a “test kitchen” aspect to get member input on new recipes. Pop-Ups are mostly BYOB and at times feature a specially crafted spirit on the menu to pair with our oysters.
Tier 1 members can attend all Pop-Up events at no extra cost. For Tier 2 members, a' la carte tickets can be purchased for $40 for one or $70 for two. Members can also bring additional guests for $35 per.
Members Only Access & Content
The members-only area of the LOC website includes premium content not available to routine website visitors. Members are provided a login where they can manage their profile, events, premium gear selections and gain access "the kitchen" for how-tos and recipes. LOC's blog is where members can stay tuned to farm news and articles of interest.
Wholesale Oysters
We continue to perfect our farm operation to produce the best possible product. Members benefit from wholesale pricing: currently ~.50c EA. (.85c EA retail). Tier 1 can redeem up to 5 bushels annually. Tier 2 can redeem up to 2 bushels.
Wholesale pricing is available to members for for their annual allotment, but also for member's private events. The Club can cater and create a special oyster experience for members and their guests. We have experience with weddings, birthday, retirement, corporate parties, fundraising and benefit events. The season fills up fast, so if this is of interest, contact us for availability and booking.
