"eating is an agricultural act" --Wendell Berry, The Pleasures of Eating

Rhode Island Oysters

http://grist.org/food/why-rhode-island-is-doing-oysters-right/

As one of the many great food articles in grist.org’s new series of states who do particular foods “right,” this article gives a quick blurb about an oyster farm in Rhode Island called Walrus and Carpenter Oysters. They harvest their oysters only by hand and only sell them to local areas and New York City. By doing this, they are allowing the oysters to replenish their habitats by having the time to do their natural process of filtering water before they are caught.

I especially like that Walrus and Carpenter have summer dinners at their oyster farm where community members can come, learn about their sustainable aquaculture, and enjoy one of the most culturally significant Rhode Island foods. As an oyster lover, myself, I am glad to know that there is a sustainable way to harvest oysters and people who are passionate enough to feed and educate their community.

    Rhode Island oysters have a rich flavor due to impeccable farming methods and create a sustainable industry. A lot of people have taken notice of coastal preservation while acknowledging the great quality of seafood they deliver, such as CIPD assignment writers.
