The mission
A portion of every OYSTR order goes back to the people growing British oysters.
The oyster industry filters the water it grows in. It sequesters carbon at the seabed. It supports family farms and communities that would otherwise have disappeared. OYSTR contributes a committed percentage of every subscription and every fresh order to specific producers and restoration projects, published transparently and updated quarterly.

Where the money goes
Project 01
Essex Native Oyster Restoration Initiative (ENORI)
Working to restore the historic native oyster population in the Blackwater and Colne estuaries. Native (Ostrea edulis) populations collapsed in the twentieth century from disease, over-fishing, and pollution. ENORI is putting them back. A share of Q4 2026 subscription revenue goes here.

The largest native oyster restoration programme in the UK. Multi-site, cross-country, involving the Zoological Society of London and the British Marine Federation. Q1 2027 pool.

Quarterly reports
Nothing hidden.
Every quarter we publish a short report on what OYSTR revenue looked like, how much went to producers and restoration, and what specifically that money paid for. First report ships in January 2027 covering the launch quarter (October to December 2026). Reports live at oystr.farm/notes and go out to every subscriber and Bed member.
The mission is real. The numbers are small at first. But small honest numbers are worth more than large opaque ones.
