Description

Little Creek Kicks off our summer “Meet your Farmer” series with an oyster roast featuring Oysterponds Shellfish Company of Orient New York. From the first day of our founding, we have loved to share the tastes and stories of the many talented oyster farmers we work with. It has been our pleasure to get to know each of them well, learn how they approach their work, what kind of gear they have chosen and why. This summer we hope you will join us as we bring them ashore for a little face time. Come down and meet the oyster farmers, sample some of their goods and hit them with all of your questions! First up in the Meet Your Farmer Series will be Oysterponds. Oysterponds is one of the most established of all of our local oyster producers. Phil Mastrangelo and Family made significant changes to the growing techniques over the years, and the result has been an incredibly consistent, well-farmed oyster that holds its own against some of the best in the world. Brian Tuthill manages the all-important nursery component, raising the oysters from spat until they are put out on the farm. Phil and Brian will be at Little Creek to answer your questions, talk about what makes their particular oysters unique. They will have some of their gear available to talk about technique. We will be firing up our classic oyster roast, shucking oysters and pouring Top Water Lager, our new house beer! Special advance pricing is $35 and includes: -A tray of roasted oysters-6 Oysterpond Oysters on the half-shell-1 Draft Top Water or Bridge Lane Sauvignon BlancOur full menu and bar will also be available.
