GROWING SITES AND ENVIRONMENT

The sites are all developed with the superior post, longline and basket system in triple and quad lines, allowing optimum ability to make the best use of prevailing environmental conditions through height adjustment when appropriate.

Spat are grown to juvenile size in barnacle free Streaky Bay waters to encourage strong shell growth, suitable for long distance transport. Juvenile oysters are translocated to Coffin Bay to finish and condition in the nutrient rich waters. They take on the sweet flavourful characteristics of their unique pristine oceanic environment prior to sale. Government regulations ensure oysters are safe at all times for human consumption.
