Indian Lagoon Oyster Company (Indian Lagoon Oyster Farm LLC) grows oysters in Port St. Joe, Florida. The company filed as a Florida LLC in May 2020. Scott Morrison manages the operation.
History of the Indian Lagoon Oyster Company
Scott Morrison formed Indian Lagoon Oyster Corporation in November 2019. Indian Lagoon Oyster Farm LLC followed in May 2020. Both companies work from the same Port St. Joe address. The farm launched as Florida closed Apalachicola Bay to wild harvest. State crews had planted oyster reef in Indian Lagoon as early as 1979.
Growing waters
Indian Lagoon sits at the westernmost edge of Apalachicola Bay in Gulf County. The lagoon opens to St. Vincent Sound and the Gulf of Mexico. The farm grows its oysters in floating cages in these brackish waters.
Through the closure
The company started farming the same year Florida closed Apalachicola Bay to wild oyster harvest. The five-year closure ran from 2020 through 2025 after the bay’s oyster reefs collapsed. The farm kept producing oysters while wild tonging stayed shut. The state voted to reopen the bay for a limited wild season in January 2026.
