Hog Island Oyster Company 

Role: Founder, CEO 

Farm Location: Tomales Bay, CA and Humboldt Bay, CA

I've been involved in aquaculture for over 45 years.  My first job out of college was for a shellfish farm, in 1979 and I started Hog Island in 1983. We love growing delicious food in beautiful marine environments that also has a positive impact – and we love being able to talk directly to our customers about that!
