Oyster South is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2014 by members of the scientific, restaurant, farming, and food-writing communities for the purpose of spotlighting southern oyster aquaculture. Oyster farming has provided great ecological and economic value to other parts of the country, and now we are seeing those benefits having positive effects in coastal communities throughout the south. Oyster South’s goal is to help the farming industry succeed in these communities so that cultured oysters can be a relevant part of our southern diet and dining culture, provide a way to make a living for southern family oyster farms, and highlighting the positive environmental benefits of oyster farming.
This year donations will be used to strengthen Oyster South’s “Peer to Pier” program. Peer to Pier provides member farmers the opportunity to travel to other farms around the country in order improve their own operations through hands-on experience and education. Peer to Pier also creates an information exchange between growers that is slowly but surely taking southern farmed oysters from a regional product to national relevancy.
