Wye River was founded in 1985 by Joe Bernard in a small unheated garage on Kent Island, Maryland. Joe started by formulating his two unique seafood seasonings, Original Red & Spicy Black. He had his seasonings mixed & packed into fancy tins with the Wye River logo, which he designed from his thoughts of catching & steaming crabs on the beloved Wye River. Sales started that Spring & he delivered all the orders in a 1976 Ford Van. The following Winter, the Wye River brand of Crab Soups were formulated & packed on the Eastern Shore. Wye River was the first company to can Cream of Crab Soup & condensed Red Crab Soup. The soups were a success. Over the next 30 years we added a variety of new products, including Crab Cake & Crab Imperial Mix, Crab Seasoned Popcorn & Crab Seasoned Peanuts. Our products continue to be manufactured locally, but are now available all over the United States. The tradition, the quality & the excellence shine through in every Wye River product.
