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.

On Shore Workshop

Learn about oysters in Little Bay

Ever wanted to know how an oyster grows? Or how an oyster farm is run? Or why this keystone species is important to the ecosystem of the bay? Join Laura, owner of Fox Point Oysters, for a guided, one hour, interactive discussion about oysters and oyster farming, while standing on the banks of the beautiful, tidal waters of Little Bay.

 

Oysters and growing equipment will be on hand to aid in the discussion. A shucking demonstration will give participants the chance to learn from a pro and oysters will be available to purchase on site after the discussion. 

A portion of the proceeds from the workshops will be donated to partner organization, Seacoast Eat Local who is hosting the sign up for this event. Two times are offered.
