Harvest Season has started! We will have limited scallops available for purchase via direct order, at the Cranberry Isles Fishermen Co-op, and if your restaurant is interested, please reach out! We are incredibly excited for this season and keep your eyes out for events!

Emma Fernald

Emma grew up between Mount Desert Island and Little Cranberry Island. She comes from a multi-generational commercial fishing family and recently got her own commercial lobster license. She also works as a sternman on her father’s boat and runs Bay Lady Scallops. She graduated from Lesley University with a BFA in Ceramics but came back to her roots on the Cranberry Isles full time and began working on the water.

This painting was done by Stephen Hillenberg, the creator of Spongebob and longtime summer resident of Little Cranberry Island. It is a painting of Emma’s dad’s last wooden lobster boat, the Bay Lady.
