Mills Bay Mussels are harvested in peak condition and hand graded before being packed.  They are grown with careful consideration for the natural environment.  These mussels on the farms follow the same feeding pattern and behaviours as the wild mussels in the area.  They are not fed, fertilised or medicated in any way.  Although not certified, Mussels in principle are organic.
