We love oysters, we also love events that support a great cause, so participating in is a no brainer

For the next 7days we will be donating a portion of sales for every oyster we sell to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation

(Fun fact- for the past 11 years we have been donating all of our oyster shells to the Lynnhaven River project which they use to repopulate the bay)
