For the past decade, PMCSF has used a Community Supported Aquaculture (CSA) model that allows participants to buy a seasonal membership and receive deliveries of shellfish throughout the spring and summer. As a supporter of the PMCSF you are invited to volunteer with growing and harvesting the oysters. This means you get to visit the farm, help us tend, collect and bag shellfish and partake in the fun of eating locally! Being a part of this shellfish farming community means more than receiving shellfish; it means having the opportunity to connect with a local food source and contribute to critical pollution control efforts in your watershed.
For 2022, instead of an annual membership, opportunities to purchase oysters and volunteer on the tide will be offered month-by-month allowing flexibility with our inventory and allowing more folks to get involved over the course of the season.
Our next harvest is scheduled for Friday, May 20th. These oysters will be available for pick up from the PSRF office (8001 Day Road West, Bainbridge Island) from 5pm on Friday, May 20th until 8pm on Saturday, May 21st . We have two sizes available: 1) the Port Madison petite – great for slurping on the half shell; and 2) the Port Madison medium (4-5”) – great for grilling, frying, stews and chowder! All oysters are $24 for 2 dozen. Visit this web page for additional monthly harvest dates. Contact Josh Bouma, PMCSF Manager at josh@restorationfund.org for questions about purchasing or volunteering.
