The producer
Why it matters.
The current supply relationship between Hog Island Oyster Co. and State Bird Provisions and Lazy Bear traces Kumamoto oysters to Marshall, California, United States, with hatchery-to-farm aquaculture recorded in the producer profile.
The origin.
Marine biologists John Finger and Terry Sawyer planted their first oyster seed in Tomales Bay in 1983. Hog Island now controls the journey from Humboldt hatchery through bay grow-out and hand harvest, while also making sea salt and harvesting seaweed.
