 Effinam Oysters is a collective of farms located in Barclay Sound and to grow a very clean very pristine oyster here My partner on the boats at the time phoned me up and said we have to look at this oyster farm He said it's perfect for you. It's like okay Well, I know the farm when I was a kid sport fishing with my grandpa We were catching prawns right in front of this farm came out We looked at the farm and now I'm an oyster farmer BC has so much potential in oyster farming the worst oyster you'll get in BC is an 8 out of 10 The man for our oysters keeps going up and up Invested in and have grown little ice plant now. So every time we leave here We can have the one two or three totes of ice to guarantee that our product won't get warm on the way in It makes the product a lot safer for the consumer So one of the phenomenal things about this whole food hub building is the complementary Resources we have here. We have a huge blast freezer So we're able to make a frozen oyster that extends the shelf life We have access to a provincially licensed food kitchen so we can experiment and try to get other products Probably the biggest thing I like about Effingham oysters is the fact that we are Helping the environment that we're growing the oysters in we are creating a very sustainable Planet-friendly product that really showcases the flavors and what our local area has The food hub really allows small businesses to bring fresh ideas and To put out products without having to have the whole expense of building a plant You have new ideas constantly coming up and the food hub provides that opportunity
