  Did you catch  CBS This Morning, yesterday ? They did a great segment about seaweed and our friends at  Atlantic Sea Farms Watch the video to find out more about the positive impacts of regenerative kelp aquaculture. And fun fact: seaweed aquaculture worldwide will outpace potato farming by 2051!  WATCH:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UMMwEF5wcw

One of the things we love most about working the farm is working with the incredible diversity of life.  Right now (middle of April) the eider ducks are still comfortable in the bay and have not yet migrated.  Yet the ospreys are back to the nest they use every summer.  We can't wait to see how many babies they hatch this year. The cormorants are gathering in the harbor as they do every summer, and the seals are moving into their nursery sites.  Spring is definitely in the air, even if does keep trying to snow. And it is not just wildlife above the water, we are also seeing sea-life celebrating Spring! One of Annie's favorite sea critters is the sea slug.  Every Spring we see many  Onchidoris bilamellata. They gather in large groups to lay eggs and we often see them on our oyster gear at this time of year.  You can find out more about these cuties at  http://www.seaslugforum.net/showall/onchbila As we pull up our bottom cages they teem with life; particularly starfish and crabs

We have been waking up the oysters from their winter slumber on the seabed and they ready to give you a taste of summer! To order oysters for pick up, delivery, or shipping please email Oyster Annie on pemeticseafarms@gmail.com
