I am a fifth generation oyster farmer. Our oldest shed has parts that are over 70 years old. After trying different things including playing rugby overseas, I was drawn back to the family business. My father Peter still works on the farm and our whole family is passionate about it and oysters of course!

Our oysters are caught wild in the Hastings River and grown out in the same area. Our method of growing oysters in floating bags is labour intensive, but produces a great quality product.

I love working in the water and I enjoy overseeing the entire process, from growing the oysters to the moment when they are sent to the market. What I find most rewarding is knowing that our oysters are a highly sought after product.
