Description

This week on The Alaska Show Podcast I talk to Weatherly Bates, cofounder of Glacier Point Oyster Farm in Halibut Cove, Alaska. Weatherly and her husband have created a nationally-recognized product and turned their farm into the largest commercial oyster and mussel operation in Alaska, nearing their goal of shipping a million oysters a year. We talk about the challenges of running an oyster farm, how it gives back to the ocean, the oyster market, how Covid forced them to rely on the local community, and the time Weatherly shot a bear nine months pregnant and had a Bear-b-que. https://www.alaskashellfish.net/ https://www.instagram.com/alaska_shellfish_farms/ https://www.facebook.com/Glacier-Point-Oyster-302213276529159/ www.TheAKShow.com
