Meetings and metrics look a little bit different on the farm. The cormorants are always commandeering conference calls, the manatees are micromanagers, and the redfish rarely read revenue reports. But the job wouldn’t be the same without ‘em.  “We take pride not only in creating the best oysters money can buy, but also in creating a prime habitat for other native species, improving water quality, and sequestering nitrogen and carbon. When you support SharkBite Oysters, you’re not only helping out an honest small business, you’re supporting an ecosystem.” - says Sam. 

Oyster farming is unique, as ‘oyster food’ does not need to be grown or caught. Oysters are self-sustaining, living off of the phytoplankton in the water column. Instead of requiring feed and producing waste, they intake water and produce a cleaner, filtered, version of it. When a single adult oyster can filter over 50 gallons of water every 24 hours, you have SharkBite’s livestock to thank for nearly 8 million gallons of water filtered by quittin’ time every day— bank holidays and sick days included. Oyster farming just makes sense. We’re eager to watch Sam grow and hope this email feature might put a few bushels on ice at Bajío HQ.
