Oyster Farming 101
Aboard a classic yellow school bus , visit the Gaffney family farm , Eros Oyster , a working oyster farm on Robinhood Cove , Georgetown Island . Be greeted by one of the farmers who will introduce you to the business , its history , and the technology used to grow oysters . Take a short walk to the waterfront to see the operation up-close . View the nursery where oyster babies are fed 24 / 7 in giant test tubes , as well as the shaker table and tumbler where the farmers shape and sort the oysters at every stage of growth . See the culling tables where market-ready oysters are selected for delivery or shipment overnight to customers around the country . At a scenic site overlooking the Cove , learn how to shuck ( and eat ) oysters on the half shell . Enjoy some just-harvested chilled oysters , which you can shuck yourself or with the help of a farmer .
