    British Columbians are privileged to live along some of the richest shores found throughout the world. Sitting at their doorstep lies some of the freshest and most revered oysters produced anywhere and in today’s world, the push to source your food locally has become a priority for families, growers and the entire food service industry. Eating locally makes sense for a lot of reasons. It fosters and promotes personal health; increases public knowledge of the resources available and farming practices utilized by local growers; and contributes to the economic and social health of our rural communities. Thankfully, for those preferring to focus on eating local, there are over 1,000 oyster farmers caringly growing dozens of varieties of world-class oysters along those shores.

    Whether it’s an Effingham or a Kusshi, Pacific Rim Petites or Ship’s Point, BC oysters not only offer a delicious and nutritious menu choice, they offer consumers an easily accessible locally grown product. By choosing BC oysters, you are making a choice to support a small farmer, a rural community and you discover where and how your food is being grown. Think close to home. Think oysters.
