North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Post

Oyster farming plays a vital role in North Carolina’s coastal economy, generating $31.7 million in 2022 and creating over 280 jobs. The industry is expected to hit $100 million by 2030, thanks to its environmental and community benefits. Watching the process from seed to shucking my first oyster on the farm was an exciting experience, made even better by the gorgeous weather! Take a tour with colleagues along North Carolina’s oyster trail— it’s a fun, educational outing with fresh oysters on the shell. Many thanks to Ghost Fleet Oyster Co.!
