Bath approves first-of-its-kind oyster farm

TIMES RECORD • May 7, 2023

The first oyster-farming facility of its kind in the world is coming to Bath. The City Council last week approved the sale of a city-owned building on Town Landing Road along the Kennebec River to Matt Nixon, owner of Muddy River Farm Aquaponics. Nixon designed the world’s first 3D-printed, closed-loop, oyster-farming tank made from sustainable materials. It will be the city’s first business specializing in aquaculture.
