many yrs ago durning my photograpy travels i came on this old Oyster farm at he time i called it the "Grapes of Wrath" oyster farm due to its run down appearence..i took many pics of the farm as it was then.
Then a few yrs ago it sold to a local rancher whos goal is to restore it to original condition.. for them it is a labor of love and a work in progress..they have spent a lot of money to bring it up to all commerical health codes..ther goal is to restoe it to its original production standars..ie..the larges oyster supplier for the west coast..Kevin Lunny the current family member who is over seeing this work is the only organic rancher in the area
He gave me some old photos of the original family to scan and put on a CD for him..We will eventual put all my pics onto a Cd for showing in the new retail store..
