Apalachicola Oysters
Apalachicola Oysters are fat and plump with a flavor of briny richness, and a tinge of salty sweetness. These oysters are known world-wide for their flavor and consistency. Apalachicola Bay-thirty miles of shallow oyster paradise on the Florida panhandle-produces 90 percent of Florida’s oysters. Apalachicola is the last place in the United States where wild oysters are still harvested by tongs from small boats. Perfect for your holiday menu.

Rainbow ‘Green’, Golden, and Ruby trout
Green trout is what the guys on the farm call the regular rainbow trout. Since they have ruby and golden as well, it is just a term they use to distinguish between the three. Our ‘green’ trout is what every sales person calls rainbow trout. Red and golden continue to be very tight. The end is not in sight yet.
