Imagine a time when oysters were more popular than hot dogs and soft pretzels on the streets of New York. Due to centuries of over harvesting and pollution, our local oysters have been wiped out. That's where Out East Oysters, an oyster farm located in the Napeague Bay in East Hampton, steps in. Their goal is to bring sustainability back to our local communities on Long Island.
Out East Oysters collects quality oysters from Napeague Bay and works on habitat restoration at their sustainable, 10 acre oyster farm in East Hampton.
Not only are oysters delicious, but they are some of the best environmentalists. A single oyster can filter algae and chemical runoff from 40 gallons of water per day!
