COVID can't slow us down. We have been busy while quarantining, preparing for another line install at the farm. Also, we're trying out a different float arrangement. Floating bag farmers, do you sidefloat or topfloat, and why?

Don't forget to take your immunity boosters, daily. We recommend a healthy serving of at least a dozen oysters per day to keep your immune system in tip top shape. These were some Hammerheads from the Cape Cod Oyster Company. Massive, meaty, briny, and perfect for char broiling.

We have quietly been chugging away on a research project with @floridaseagrant and Curt Hemmel of the Bay Shellfish Company that aims to determine if biofouling affects shucked meat yields in Bay Scallops. We will be wrapping up the project in the coming months and look forward to bringing these to market!

Had a windy, cold, and rough day at the oyster farm today. Seeing these LoCos taking form at their 5 month checkup makes it all worth it.

What an exciting time to be alive! House Bill 3829, which aims to provide appropriations for water quality improvement with native oysters and clams, has been introduced to the State Legislature. This could pave the way for farmers to diversify their offerings by including cultured shellfish for ongoing restorative efforts. I encourage you to contact your local legislators and/or write @rondesantis_fl_governor in support of this bill.

The Lost Coast operation is about to get a lot more efficient thanks to our custom built sorter/grader/tumbler from Garrett at @shell_game_products (aka @boonedocks_oyster_co) 👌🏻 Can’t wait to try her out on our next farm day! .

Look as these little LoCos grow! The sea squirt set has been pretty gnarly but all in all, the growth looks good. Our sorter from @boonedocks_oyster_co will be much needed in the coming months. It looks like we are on track for thesee LoCos to hit a plate this spring.

Exhausted from adjusting to Baby Nova life but it was great to get back out on the farm and check on the oyster babies. It looks like a sorter/tumbler will be in our near future!

We’ve taken a few days off from farming life for a very special interruption. World, please welcome Nova June, the newest lil shucker and oyster farmer in training!

We had some volunteers out at the farm today. @emmahays_04 (the next generation of oyster farming) is doing a science fair project on oysters and couldn't find anybody to donate the oysters for her experiment. Emma and her family were a big help and we were happy to send her home with some oysters for the project. Best of luck and thanks for the help!

Check out the fluted shell on these LoCos! They had their 10 week checkup today and they're already starting to look like an oyster that will be coming to a plate near you this spring. Also, the growth on our bay scallops has been INCREDIBLE!

4 week checkup and some of our friends are ready to move into a new home! These guys will be moving on up to the 9mm bags where they will get even more flow and nourishment.

Jumping into the farming weekend like ✌🏻 (The funny backstory to this photo is that @fraudigy was actually jumping in to find one of our missing lease signs that had gotten blown off by the wind 😂 all signs are now safe!)
