The shape
-
01
Six people
Small enough that the producer can actually talk to everyone. Large enough that OYSTR can run the day at reasonable margin.
-
02
One producer per tour
Loch Ryan in September. Colchester Native in October. Duchy of Cornwall in November. One farm, one day, one story.
-
03
A morning on the water
Boat trip out to the beds or racks. Watching the producer work through the tide. Handling live oysters. Understanding the growing method.
-
04
Lunch with the producer
Somewhere near the farm. Oysters, obviously, but also the local food that came up alongside the oyster industry. Cheese, bread, sea vegetables, wine.
-
05
Shucking lesson
Every guest leaves knowing how to shuck properly. Take the technique home. Never pay someone else to open your oysters again.
-
06
Small take-home
Every guest goes home with a dozen live oysters from the farm they just visited, plus a printed guide covering everything they learned.
