Description
Ryan McPherson took over Glidden Point Oyster Farms five years ago as he left Massachusetts to start a venture that has grown tremendously over time. Their goal is to craft the perfect shaped oyster and they have accomplished this and are continually providing these to wholesalers and customers across the nation.His team of farmers works hard to grow and collect millions of oysters, all different sizes (the jumbos are HUGE), throughout the year. Oyster season is year-round in Maine due to its chilly climate but sometimes the farmers have to watch out for the green crabs as they eat oysters and have caused some challenges.They give back to the community by collaborating with farmers starting out and non-profits to help establish their oyster farms. Oyster farms keep our coastal waters clean and Glidden Point truly believes in this mission and will continue to help others build their oyster farms and continue to keep theirs maintained.Please visit Glidden Point Oyster Farm's website to view their products. Feel free to follow them on Facebook and Instagram to get updates on new products and events happening at their tasting room.Also, please check out the featured musician of this episode, The Ballroom Thieves, and one of their new tracks, Vanity Trip.
