About 3 years ago, Mike & Ray founded Toasted Oysters… a venture that started over some research and a couple of backyard drinks. And one that is also a part of the Farmer Veteran Coalition. I have to admit, Until we spoke, I didn’t really understand what an oyster farm really meant - that it was a physical farm location in the water where the farm owners grow oysters. Sounds intuitive, but the physical boundaries of the farm are hard to fathom.
After 3 years of oyster farming in the Great South Bay off southern Long Island, NY, Mike and Ray are doing a phenomenal job growing high quality and very desirable Blue Point Oysters. And they are also thinking about integrating agritourism to their business in the future, providing a water experience that exposes all that they know about oysters and oyster farming, including all the other aquatic life that surrounds them. Enjoy my conversation with Mike & Ray.
