This is what it’s all about! We couldn’t be mo This is what it’s all about! We couldn’t be more honored and humbled to have taken part in our first wedding oyster bar setup with none other than @lolitasevents. Witnessing those ‘oyster virgins’ slurp their very first oyster, and seeing the reactions of bivalve veterans experience a Lost Coast ‘LoCo’ for the first time was priceless! The farming life isn’t always glamorous, so we savor the moments we get to showcase our hard work. Thanks to all for your constant support of our growing farm 🦪

You may have heard recently that oyster harvesting You may have heard recently that oyster harvesting in Apalachicola Bay is shut down for the next 5 years due to dwindling oyster populations. Our farm was founded in response to the collapse of the wild oyster fishery, and is part of the solution to a more sustainable way to enjoy oysters. Our farm stocks oyster seed raised in a hatchery; we never take from the wild. By supporting aquaculture farms (and there are MANY right here in Florida) you do your part to relieve pressure on the wild populations, and give them the chance to build back up.
Tumbled and graded about 20k oysters today. This o Tumbled and graded about 20k oysters today. This one took home "Best in Show." Farming has a steep learning curve and trust me, we produce plenty of gnarly, barnacled, funky shaped oysters, but seeing one like this makes me think we are getting closer to figuring this thing out. 2021 is going to be 🔥🔥🔥
Our LoCos come in a variety of colors that are inf Our LoCos come in a variety of colors that are influenced both by their genetics and the environment in which they’re raised (mangroves and seagrass galore). We may be biased, but we think they’re pretty and delicious 🦪 These were harvested Friday and are already being enjoyed just hours later. Did you get your fix this weekend?
Mangrove snappah, one of the many little critters Mangrove snappah, one of the many little critters that calls our farm home. One of the coolest parts of farming is observing all of the marine life that lives in harmony with our floating oyster reefs! Fish, crabs, worms, amphipods, and many more thrive in the habitat. As they say, "if you build it, they will come!"
