Oyster Farm Tours
Immerse yourself on the farm
Join Laura, owner and operator of Fox Point Oysters, on a tour of the farm and learn about oyster farming first hand! Wade in or kayak out in waist deep water to the farm site to explore a small piece of the Great Bay. Prepare to get muddy as we dig into what life on the oyster farm is really like- from farming and restoration work to sales and shucking. At the end of the one hour tour you will be able to harvest your own dozen oysters to take home and enjoy.
I have scheduled select tour dates this year during July and August to co-inside with tides and warmer temperature when shorts and a tee are considered perfect attire.
*Please note: Oyster farming is a dirty business. You will get muddy, you will get salty and your will have a great time.
