Protecting our environment and wetlands has always been important to me. I started to research on what I could do to help preserve and improve our environment, while at the same time provide a living on the water. I came across oyster farming. It fascinated me and I wanted to know more about it.

For the next year, I learned everything I could about oyster farming. I even volunteered to work on other local farms to learn more about the industry! After my research and field experience, I knew I had to start my own mariculture farm! The hardest part was finding a location for our farm. After extensive research and consideration, we finally found the perfect location. This was the birth of Carolina Gold Oyster Company.

Starting Carolina Gold Oyster Company was a huge commitment to myself, family, and my community. I will always strive to do everything I can to help protect and better our environment and wetlands. Not only does our farm improve the water quality; it provides tons of habitats for small juvenile fish, removes carbon, and it’s 100% a sustainable protein.

Oyster farming has no negative impact on our environment and that’s something to get behind! We are a proud member of the Shellfish Growers Climate Coalition partnership with The Nature Conservancy to help fight climate change. When you are enjoying Carolina Gold Oysters, you are doing your part as well! Welcome to Carolina Gold Oyster Company, where the true Gold is on the East Coast!
