PEI Mussel Farmers– hardworking and tenacious caretakers of our healthy, versatile and delicious mussels.

MEET OUR PEI FARMERS

PEI Mussels are rope-grown and farmed by dedicated mussel farmers who love what they do. Like any farmer, PEI Mussel farmers are the caretakers of their surrounding natural elements that provide them the opportunity to produce safe and healthy food.

Farming mussels is a detailed process that requires year-round commitment, knowledge, and patience. The farmers collect mussel seeds in the wild, sort them, grade them, place them into socks, and then bring the mussels back to the water. Farmers maintain their mussels for over a year or so until they've grown to market size. Once harvested, they are stripped from their socks, de-clumped, cleaned, have their beards removed, and are visually inspected. All of this is done very gently to protect this live seafood.

PEI Mussels are the #1 selling mussel in North America.
And behind every mussel is a hardworking PEI Mussel farmer.
