WHOLESALEDirect From Boat to Table
ANCHORED IN CONSISTENCY
One of the many benefits to the way we raise and farm our oysters is having the ability to stay consistent in the quality of our product, even when we need to fill large orders.
Norm Bloom and Son has always been known as a wholesale supplier of oysters. The recent farm-to-table movement has allowed the company to expand its distribution capabilities to sell directly to local restaurants.
The Bloom Family History
Copps Island Oysters is a fourth-generation, family-owned shellfish farm that operates one of the last-standing, traditional oyster farms in the United States. Founded in 1994 by Norm Bloom, Copps Island Oysters has provided a high-quality, consistent, and sustainable product to our customers nationwide for decades. With a fleet of fifteen boats and a dedicated crew, we harvest year-round from the deep, cold, and nutrient-rich waters along the coast of Connecticut.
Oystering is in our blood. We hail from a family of oystermen dating back to the 1940s. Norm’s father, Norm Sr., co-founded what was one of the largest oyster companies on the East Coast with his twin brother, Hillard Sr. Working alongside his father since he was a teenager, Norm learned the value of hard work and sustainable practices passed down through generations that continue to be implemented today. Oystering is our passion and our heritage, and we take pride in what we do!
“The important thing in our business is, what we sell pays the bills, but what we put back out into the water is our future.”
NORM BLOOM
SUSTAINABILITYWe are committed to providing a sustainable product, which begins with preserving and monitoring the waters of the Long Island Sound. Our farming methods have successfully increased the production and quality of our oysters in local waters for over 150 years. Along with funding our own water sampling program, we work closely with local organizations such as Harbor Watch, Soundkeeper, and Save the Sound that work tirelessly to keep the waters of Long Island Sound clean.
